    Abstract:
    Von Willebrand factor (VWF) has been proposed to reduce the immunogenicity of therapeutic factor VIII (FVIII) in patients with hemophilia A. Using FVIII-deficient mice, we compared the immunogenicity of different preparations of plasma-derived (pd) and recombinant (r) FVIII. Treatment of mice with pdFVIII induced significantly lower titers of FVIII inhibitors, as measured by ELISA and in vitro coagulation assays, compared with rFVIII. Furthermore, pre-incubation of rFVIII with excess VWF significantly reduced rFVIII immunogenicity. Our data confirm that pdFVIII induces lower levels of inhibitors than rFVIII, and that VWF is an immuno-chaperone molecule for FVIII.
