The role of FVIII/Anti-FVIII antibody Immune Complexes in Preventing FVIII-Specific Antibody Production in a Hemophilia A Mouse Model [PDF]
Abstract Background: Hemophilia A is an X-linked bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency or absence of FVIII. Patients can develop anti-FVIII IgG, rendering FVIII therapy ineffective. Antibody production can be suppressed by targeting CD32b receptors in B cells using ICs.

Prophylactic replacement therapy in hemophilia A (HA) patients does not adequately prevent bleeds and arthropathic complications. A more refined understanding of the relationship between coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) levels and bleeding risk during protein prophylaxis, or with gene therapy, is needed to improve patient care.Investigate this ...

An Automated Microfluidic System for Haemostasis Assessment in Cirrhosis With Thrombocytopenia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Conventional laboratory tests do not capture platelet–vessel wall interactions (primary haemostasis) occurring in vivo, limiting guidance before invasive procedures. This is relevant in patients with thrombocytopenia, hallmark of advanced cirrhosis. Microfluidic assays may overcome these limitations.

Platelets compensate for poor thrombin generation in type 3 von Willebrand disease
In type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD3), the most severe form with absent von Willebrand factor (VWF), the bleeding phenotype is variable. Platelet contribution to the hemostatic defect in VWD3 calls upon further studies. We investigated the contribution

Fc Gamma Receptors and Complement Component 3 Facilitate Anti-fVIII Antibody Formation
Anti-factor VIII (fVIII) alloantibodies, which can develop in patients with hemophilia A, limit the therapeutic options and increase morbidity and mortality of these patients.

Defining the Optimal FVIII Transgene for Placental Cell-Based Gene Therapy to Treat Hemophilia A
The delivery of factor VIII (FVIII) through gene and/or cellular platforms has emerged as a promising hemophilia A treatment. Herein, we investigated the suitability of human placental cells (PLCs) as delivery vehicles for FVIII and determined an optimal

FVIII inhibitor IgG subclass and FVIII polypeptide specificity determined by immunoblotting [PDF]
We used immunoblotting of purified factor VIII coagulant protein (FVIII) to localize FVIII inhibitor epitopes in 76 inhibitor plasmas to either the 92-kd FVIII polypeptide (and its 54-kd and/or 44-kd thrombin fragments), the 80-kd polypeptide (and its 72-kd thrombin fragment), or both of these polypeptides.

Limited promiscuity of HLA-DRB1 presented peptides derived of blood coagulation factor VIII. [PDF]
The formation of inhibitory antibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is a severe complication in the treatment of hemophilia A patients. The induction of anti-FVIII antibodies is a CD4(+) T cell-dependent process.
