OX-23 hybridoma cell line

Human Factor H

Mouse x Mouse hybridoma

The hybridoma line OX-23 was raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with Factor H and fusion of spleen cells with NS0 mouse myeloma cells. The antibody was shown to detect human complement control protein, Factor H. OX-23, also known as MRC OX-23, reduced the increase in cofactor activity observed in the presence of OX-24 (Sigma Catalogue no. 00010403). It was reported that OX-23 and OX-24 react with different epitopes on the Factor H molecule.
