The epitopes of four monoclonal antibodies against coagulation Factor VIII were mapped with the use of recombinant DNA techniques. Full-length Factor VIII cDNA and parts thereof were inserted into the vector pSP64, permitting transcription in vitro with the use of a promoter specific for SP6 RNA polymerase. Factor VIII DNA inserts were truncated from their 3′-ends by selective restriction-enzyme digestion and used as templates for ‘run-off’ mRNA synthesis. Translation in vitro with rabbit reticulocyte lysate provided defined radiolabelled Factor VIII fragments for immunoprecipitation studies. Two antibodies are shown to be directed against epitopes on the 90 kDa chain of Factor VIII, between residues 712 and 741. The 80 kDa chain appeared to contain the epitopes of the other two antibodies, within the sequences 1649-1778 and 1779-1840 respectively. The effect of antibody binding to these sequences was evaluated at two distinct levels within the coagulation cascade. Both Factor VIII procoagulant activity and Factor VIII cofactor function in Factor Xa generation were neutralized upon binding to the region 1779-1840. The antibodies recognizing the region 713-740 or 1649-1778, though interfering with Factor VIII procoagulant activity, did not inhibit in Factor Xa generation. These findings demonstrate that antibodies that virtually inhibit Factor VIII in coagulation in vitro are not necessarily directed against epitopes involved in Factor VIII cofactor function. Inhibition of procoagulant activity rather than of cofactor function itself may be explained by interference in proteolytic activation of Factor VIII. This hypothesis is in agreement with the localization of the epitopes in the proximity of thrombin-cleavage or Factor Xa-cleavage sites.

Болезнь Виллебранда (БВ) может представлять определенные трудности у рожениц с данной патологией. Приведены 2 клинических примера использования у женщин с БВ фактора VIII свертывания крови с фактором Виллебранда, показана эффективность и безопасность их применения. У одной пациентки было также показано использование фактора свертывания крови VIII с фактором Виллебранда во время экстракорпорального оплодотворения. Von Willebrand disease presents a certain hemostatic problem among parturients. This article shows the effectiveness and safety of using coagulation factor VIII with von Willebrand factor for the prevention of bleeding in childbirth in 2 patients with type 3 von Willebrand disease. In one patient, the use of coagulation factor VIII with von Willebrand factor during in vitro fertilization was also shown.

AbstractHemophilia A is an X-linked inherited blood coagulation disorder caused by the production and circulation of defective coagulation factor VIII protein. People living with this condition receive either prophylaxis or on-demand treatment, and approximately 30% of patients develop inhibitor antibodies, a serious complication that limits treatment options. Although previous studies performed targeted mutations to identify important residues of FVIII, a detailed understanding of the role of each amino acid and their neighboring residues is still lacking. Here, we addressed this issue by creating a residue interaction network (RIN) where the nodes are the FVIII residues, and two nodes are connected if their corresponding residues are in close proximity in the FVIII protein structure. We studied the characteristics of all residues in this network and found important properties related to disease severity, interaction to other proteins and structural stability. Importantly, we found that the RIN-derived properties were in close agreement with in vitro and clinical reports, corroborating the observation that the patterns derived from this detailed map of the FVIII protein architecture accurately capture the biological properties of FVIII.
