Anti-Fibrinogen Antibody (FITC) (A282408)

Anti-Fibrinogen Antibody (FITC)

Sheep polyclonal antibody to Fibrinogen (FITC).

This antibody recognises human fibrinogen, a complex ~340 kDa hetero-hexameric (di-trimeric) glycoprotein consisting of 3 pairs of α, β and γ chains linked by a series of 29 disulphide bonds. The six chains are arranged in such a way that all the N-Terminal ends adjoin to form a central E domain with two trimeric coiled coil structures connecting to outer D domains. Fibrinogen plays an important role in the coagulation process with the D and E domains interacting via the C-terminal ends of the α chains during fibrin clot cross-linking. Sheep anti human fibrinogen antibody shows minimal cross-reactivity with related serum proteins. Fibrinogen has been identified as a ferritin binding protein in the horse. Sheep anti human fibrinogen antibody has been successfully as a capture reagent for ferritin - anti ferritin IgG complexes in horse plasma to evaluate the antibody response to ferritin by ELISA.

Sheep anti Human fibrinogen antibody recognizes human fibrinogen, a complex ~340 kDa hetero-hexameric (di-trimeric) glycoprotein consisting of 3 pairs of a, ß and ? chains linked by a series of 29 disulphide bonds (Henschen et al. 1983). The six chains are arranged in such a way that all the N-Terminal ends adjoin to form a central E domain with two trimeric coiled coil structures connecting to outer D domains. Fibrinogen plays an important role in the coagulation process with the D and E domains interacting via the C-Terminal ends of the a chains during fibrin clot cross-linking. Sheep anti human fibrinogen antibody shows minimal cross-reactivity with related serum proteins. Fibrinogen has been identified as a ferritin binding protein in the horse (Orino et al. 1993). Sheep anti human fibrinogen antibody has been successfully as a capture reagent for ferritin - anti ferritin IgG complexes in horse plasma to evaluate the antibody response to ferritin by ELISA (Takahashi et al. 2013).
