GENE FOR CODING FACTOR VIII C

摘要

(1) Protein compsn. (free from other proteins) showing a biological activity of Factor VIIIC and being a complex of an 80 kd and 77 kd protein calcium bridged with a 92.5 kd protein is new. (2) Human protein compsn. comprising 1 or 2 polypeptides of 67-80 kd and having an amino acid sequence of formula (I) in the N-terminal half of the polypeptide and having a biological activity of Factor VIIIC is new. (3) Human protein compsn. comprising a polypeptide of 92.5 kd and having an amino acid sequence of formula (II) in the N-terminal half of the polypeptide and having a biological activity of Factor VIIIC. (4) Monoclonal antibody prepd. with a protein compsn. as defined in paragraphs (1)-(3) is new. (5) Detection of a polynucleotide sequence encoding for at least part of Factor VIIIC comprises hybridising it, in single-stranded form, with a probe (III) and then isolating polynucleotide duplexing with the probe.
