The isolation and characterization of the first component of the kinin-forming system in human and rabbit plasma are presented. Functionally, the molecule is the precursor of the activator of prekallikrein (Pre-PKA) and evidence is presented that it is identical with Hageman factor (clotting factor XII). The component from each plasma possessed similar characteristics. This molecule was found to have a mol wt of 110,000 and sedimentation rate of 4.6S. It migrated in electrophoresis as a ß-globulin, having an isoelectric point of 6.1. Upon activation with glass, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, ellagic acid, or trypsin, the activated molecule converted purified prekallikrein (prokininogenase) to the active enzyme. Clot-promoting activity was associated with the capacity to activate prekallikrein through each procedure of isolation. The clot-promoting factor was in precursor form, requiring treatment with kaolin or trypsin to gain activity. Evidence indicated that the protein was Hageman factor (factor XII): it promoted clotting of factor XII-deficient, but not Factor XI- or IX-deficient plasma, and did not convert fibrinogen to fibrin it bound to and was activated by kaolin or other negatively charged particles in the presence of chelating agents; the activation by kaolin could be prevented by pretreating the kaolin with hexadimethrine bromide (H Br); prekallikrein-activating and clot-promoting activities were identical in their physical properties; and the prekallikrein activator could not be detected in Hageman factor-deficient plasma. Activation of Hageman factor was accompanied by cleavage of the molecule into several fragments, one of which possessed prekallikrein-activating (PKA) and clot-promoting properties. The PKA fragment sedimented at 2.6S and by gel filtration was found to have a molecular weight of 32,000. The PKA possessed only 1/50 the clot-promoting capacity of the freshly activated native molecule.

Abstract A murine hybridoma cell line that produces a monoclonal antibody to human Hageman factor (HF, factor XII) is described. The antibody (P 5–2– 1) consists of mouse IgG2b heavy chains and lambda light chains, selectively neutralizes HF procoagulant activity, and prevents the proteolytic cleavage of HF during contact activation in plasma. When HF is exposed to P 5–2–1 before the absorption of HF to kaolin, HF procoagulant activity is markedly inhibited. In contrast, P 5–2–1 does not interfere with HF activity after the adsorption of HF to kaolin. P 5–2–1 does not inactivate the prekallikrein–activating activity of 28,000–mol wt HF fragments (HFf). P 5–2–1 binds exclusively to the 40,000mol wt portion of a heavy chain of HF and inhibits the adsorption of HF to negatively charged surfaces. P 5–2–1 immobilized on Sepharose can be used to deplete HF from normal human plasma. This immunoaffinity-depleted plasma is indistinguishable from congenital HF- deficient plasma and can be used as the substrate for HF procoagulant activity assay.
