Contributor Information

  • Name Alison Goodall
  • Institute University College London (UCL)

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-von Willebrand Factor [RFF-VIII:R/1]
  • Clone: RFF-VIII:R/1
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Primate
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: ELISA ; FACS ; IF ; Fn ; RIA ; WB
  • Description: Anti-Anti-Von Willebrand Factor [RFF-VIII:R/1] specifically binds to human factor VIII related antigen (VIII:RAg) in plasma and in vascular endothelial cells but has no reactivity with factor VIII procoagulant antigen (VIII:cAg). This antibody is a potent inhibitor of von Willebrand factor activity in that it can totally neutralise risocetin-induced aggregation of platelet rich plasma and inhibit platelet adhesion at high flow rates. RFF-VIII:R/2 can be used in a one-stage, fluid phase immunoradiometric assay that can detect VIII:RAg. This monoclonal antibody binds to human von Willebrand factor (VW) and inhibits it's binding to platelets. Very similar in characteristics to RFF-VIII:R/1.
  • Immunogen: Purified human Factor VIII-VWF complex
  • Isotype: IgG1 kappa
  • Research area: Tissue-specific biology; Stem cell biology
  • Myeloma used: P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1

  • For Research Use Only
