Product Specific Information
Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water.
The antiSerum does not cross react with any other component of Human plasma. Inter-species crossreactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins since they frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail.
In immunoelectrophoresis in agarose-plates use 2 µL human plasma or equivalent against 120 µL antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion use a rosette arrangement with 10 µL antiserum in 3 mm diameter center well and 2 µL plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. In electroimmunodiffusion the antiserum concentration required in the gel is normally between 1 and 2%. Measured by quantitative precipitin analysis. The amount of factor V precipitated by 1 mL antiserum is between 8 and 12 U. One Unit of Factor V is defined as the amount of factor V present in 1 mL normal plasma. On the average this corresponds to 20 µg.
Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at 4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
Target Information
Coagulation factor V (or Proaccelerin) is an essential factor of the blood coagulation cascade. This factor circulates in plasma, and is converted to the active form by the release of the activation peptide by thrombin during coagulation. This generates a heavy chain and a light chain which are held together by calcium ions. The active factor V is a cofactor that participates with activated coagulation factor X to activate prothrombin to thrombin. Defects in the Factor V gene can result various diseases including Factor V deficiency, thrombophilia due to activated protein C resistance, Budd-Chiari syndrome, Ischemic stroke, and recurrent pregnancy loss.
