A Ca.sup.2+ dependent recombinant antibody that specifically binds to a
specific twelve peptide sequence (E D Q V D P R L I D G K) in the
activation region of the Protein C has been constructed. The antibody
does not bind to Activated Protein C and can be used to inhibit
activation of Protein C by thrombin-thrombomodulin, in purification of
Protein C, and in treatment of tumors.
