| Description | This antibody recognizes rat cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) which is an autoantigen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The binding affinity of antibody to COMP was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and surface plasma resonance (SPR) technique. The mAb binds equally well to both mouse and human COMP protein. The antibody showed slightly stronger binding to COMP in the absence of calcium than in the presence of calcium. |
