Overview
The development of an immune response to infused factor VIII is a, complication affecting many patients with hemophilia A. Inhibitor, antibodies bind to antigenic determinants on the factor VIII molecule and, block its procoagulant activity. A patient-derived inhibitory, immunoglobulin G4kappa antibody (BO2C11) produced by an immortalized, memory B-lymphocyte cell line interferes with the binding of factor VIII, to phospholipid surfaces and to von Willebrand factor. The structure of a, Fab fragment derived from this antibody complexed with the factor VIII C2, domain was determined at 2.0 A resolution. The Fab interacts with, solvent-exposed basic and hydrophobic side chains that form a, membrane-association surface of factor VIII. This atomic resolution, structure suggests a variety of amino acid substitutions in the C2 domain, of factor VIII that might prevent the binding of anti-C2 inhibitor, antibodies without significantly compromising the procoagulant functions, of factor VIII.
