| TF

The F3 gene encodes tissue factor also known as coagulation factor III, which is a cell surface glycoprotein. This factor enables cells to initiate the blood coagulation cascades, and it functions as the high-affinity receptor for the coagulation factor VII. The resulting complex provides a catalytic event that is responsible for initiation of the coagulation protease cascades by specific limited proteolysis. Unlike the other cofactors of these protease cascades, which circulate as nonfunctional precursors, this factor is a potent initiator that is fully functional when expressed on cell surfaces.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	4000	2000	1000	500	250	125	62.5	0
OD	2.37	1.58	1.01	0.65	0.43	0.31	0.22	0.09
Corrected OD	2.28	1.49	0.92	0.56	0.34	0.22	0.13	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse TF spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Plasma(n=8)	90-105	98

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse TF and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Plasma(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	88-96
	Average (%)	93
1 : 4	Range (%)	85-109
	Average (%)	98
