Monoclonal antibody PS7 is specific for human Protein S (PS), a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 70 kDa. In humans, PS is mainly synthesized by hepatocytes. Mature PS has a modular structure consisting of a Gla-domain containing a short aromatic stack, a region sensitive to cleavage by thrombin and factor Xa , 4 epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, and a sex hormone-binding globulin-like region. The biologic function of PS thought to be of primary importance is its ability to enhance Activated Protein C-dependent proteolytic inactivation of factors Va and VIIIa, which are respectively the cofactors in the pro-thrombinase and tenase complexes of the coagulation cascade. In this way, PS plays an important role in regulating thrombin generation, and therefore controlling procoagulant activity. Crucial to the APC-dependent functions of PS is the high-affinity interaction between PS and negatively charged phospholipid surfaces, conferred by calcium-induced folding of the amino-terminal Gla-domain. Monoclonal antibody PS7 allows specific detection of cells carrying PS by flow cytometry.

  • New Human Complement Pathway Assays
    We are very proud of our newly developed human classical and alternative complement pathway assays. They are produced in response to a growing demand for quantitative investigation of complement inhibitors or regulators at lower sample dilutions. This development aims to address the issue of false negative results, enabling more accurate and reliable analysis of complement… Read more: New Human Complement Pathway Assays
  • Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysis
    Our colleague Erik Toonen shared his experience on how to analyze complement at the Complement-based Drug Development Summit in Boston in September 11-13th, 2023. He showed valuable insights on analyzing complements. For accurate complement analysis, it is important that not only the correct technique is used but also that pre-analytical sample handling is performed in… Read more: Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysis
  • NEW Human C3d ELISA
    We are happy to introduce our new ELISA (cat.# HK3017) designed to detect human C3d. What sets this assay apart is its utilization of a distinctive neo-epitope capture antibody that selectively targets a specific C3d region of the alpha chain, which is not available in other C3 variants. This way it specifically distinguishes C3d from native C3… Read more: NEW Human C3d ELISA
