  • Title: Analysis of factor VIII inhibitors using hybrid human/porcine factor VIII.
    Author: Lollar P.
    Journal: Thromb Haemost; 1997 Jul; 78(1):647-51. PubMed ID: 9198232.
    Abstract:
    Recombinant hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecules have been used to map a major determinant of the epitope recognized by human anti-factor VIII A2 domain inhibitory antibodies to a region bounded by human fVIII residues Arg484-Ile508. This approach is being used to characterize the C2 domain inhibitor epitope. The process of creating hybrid human/porcine factor VIII molecules to map inhibitor epitopes produces procoagulantly active fVIII with reduced reactivity with clinically significant factor VIII inhibitors. This suggests that it may be possible to develop of a hybrid human/porcine factor VIII that is useful in the management of hemophilia A and acquired hemophilia.
