Mouse Anti-Porcine Complement Factor Properdin (CFP) Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine complement factor properdin, also known as C3b binding protein or FBLN1, is a crucial component of the alternative pathway of the complement system, which is a part of the innate immune response. Properdin stabilizes the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway, thereby enhancing the deposition of C3b on pathogen surfaces and promoting opsonization and complement-mediated lysis. As a molecular target, Properdin is significant due to its role in modulating the immune response to infections. It is particularly important in the defense against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Given its central function in the complement system, Properdin represents a potential therapeutic target for conditions where complement dysregulation contributes to disease pathogenesis, such as autoimmune diseases and age-related macular degeneration.
