Factor VII, a serine protease found circulating in the blood. It initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation in conjunction with tissue factor. Tissue factor is found on the outside of blood vessels. When the vessels is damaged, tissue factor is exposed to the blood and circulating Factor VII. Once bound to tissue factor, Factor VII is activated by different proteases and converts Factor IX to IXa. Factor VII deficiency is a rare hereditary haemorrhagic disease. Symptoms range from mild to severe.

Suitable for use in FLISA, Western Blot and RIA. Other applications have not been tested.

Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™550 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.

Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.

Purified Factor VII

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. Labeled with MaxLight™550.

Purified by Protein G affinity chromatography from tissue culture supernatant.

Recognizes human Factor VII. Binds to a conformational epitope and will not bind to reduced Factor VII.
