A goat antiserum raised against human Factor D protein.
Factor D is unique to the Alternative Complement Pathway. It consists of a single peptide chain with a molecular weight of 24 kD. Factor D is a specific serine protease which cleaves Factor B complexed with C3b (or hydrolyzed C3) in a single position to yield Bb and Ba.
Quidel's polyclonal antiserum to Factor D can been used in a variety of immunochemical techniques including RID, EIA, Ouchterlony.
