Factor I, a serine protease, is a regulatory component of both the alternative and the classical complement pathway. Factor I is synthesized as a single chain precursor of 88 kDa, processed to yield the active form, composed of two disulfide-linked chains, the alpha-chain (50 kDa) and the beta-chain (38 kDa) (2). The concantration in plasma is 35 µg/ml (1).
Factor I isolated from human plasma adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide gel
HYB 061-01 is specific for the alpha-chain of human factor I
Not determined
HYB 061-01 reacts strongly with factor I. A strong reaction is seen with normal human plasma when used in sandwich ELISA in combination with a polyclonal antibody against factor I as capture antbody (e.g. sheep anti human factor I from Serotec). In Western blotting after SDS-PAGE, HYB 061-01 reacts with factor I in non-reduced form.

The dilution guideline for ELISA is based on sandwich ELISA in combination with a polyclonal antibody against the antigen. Users should determine the optimal dilutions for their own purpose.
