  • Title: Isolation of functional human coagulation factor V by using a hybridoma antibody.
    Author: Katzmann JA, Nesheim ME, Hibbard LS, Mann KG.
    Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1981 Jan; 78(1):162-6. PubMed ID: 6941242.
    Abstract:
    Spleen cells obtained from mice immunized with partially purified human coagulation Factor V were fused with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells, and hybrids were selected. Culture media were screened for anti-Factor V activity, and an antibody-positive clone was obtained and passaged as an ascites tumor in mice. The ascitic fluid from the hybridoma-bearing mouse could be diluted 1:10(6) before losing reactivity in an anti-Factor V radioimmunoassay. When immobilized on agarose, the monoclonal antibody quantitatively removed Factor V activity from human plasma. Factor V activity could be eluted with 1.2 M NaCl at pH 6.5. Homogeneous Factor V was isolated by chromatography of barium citrate-adsorbed, polyethylene glycol 6000 precipitated plasma on the antibody column followed by chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose. The isolated Factor V exhibited a single band upon gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate with an apparent Mr comparable to that of bovine Factor V (330,000). Upon exposure to thrombin, the activity of Factor V increased 53-fold when measured in Factor V-deficient plasma. This increased activity was associated with discrete proteolytic cleavages of the parent molecule.
