HCA031 recognises the novel human complement regulatory cell surface receptor designated CRIT (Complement C2 receptor inhibitor trispanning). CRIT binds complement factor C2 and blocks the classical pathway of complement activation.
CRIT protein expression has been specifcally identified by immunohistochemistry in podocyte cells in human kidney glomeruli, and is also expressed on hematopoietic cells and a range of other human tissues.
CRIT appears to function as a regulatory molecule protecting autologous cells from damage by complement. Expression has also been demonstrated by human parasites, which have acquired CRIT by horizontal transmission, seeInal, J.M.et al.for details.
Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library. Expressed in E. coli and purified using NiNTA affinity chromatography. This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the anti-body heavy chain.
