Identification of a Putative Binding Site for Negatively Charged Surfaces in the Fibronectin Type II Domain of Human Factor XII
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Monoclonal antibodies directed against functional sites of proteins provide useful tools for structure-function studies. Here we describe a mAb, KOK5, directed against the heavy chain region of human coagulation factor XII (FXII), which inhibits kaolin-induced clotting activity by preventing the binding of FXII to kaolin. Furthermore, mAb KOK5 enhances FXII susceptibility for cleavage by kallikrein and supports...
