| F12

Coagulation factor XII, also known as Hageman factor, is a plasma protein involved in coagulation. It is the zymogen form of factor XIIa , an enzyme of the serine protease (or serine endopeptidase) class. Factor XII is encoded by F12 gene.The gene for factor XII is located on the tip of the long arm of the fifth chromosome (5q33-qter). Factor XII (FXII, Hageman factor) is a plasma glycoprotein of approximately 90 kDa and is part of the coagulation cascade. It activates factor XI and prekallikrein in vitro. FXII is activated to FXIIa by negatively charged surfaces such as glass, initiating the intrinsic pathway.
 

| 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 (ng/mL)	40	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.62	0
OD	2.51	1.85	1.14	0.72	0.46	0.3	0.21	0.09
Corrected OD	2.42	1.76	1.05	0.63	0.37	0.21	0.12	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat F12 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)	92-105	102

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat F12 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 (%)	88-108
	Average (%)	99
