Abstract

The A2 domain (residues 373-740) of human blood coagulation factor VIII (fVIII) contains a major epitope for inhibitory alloantibodies and autoantibodies. We took advantage of the differential reactivity of inhibitory antibodies with human and porcine fVIII and mapped a major determinant of the A2 epitope by using a series of active recombinant hybrid human/porcine fVIII molecules. Hybrids containing a substitution of porcine sequence at segment 410-508, 445-508, or 484-508 of the human A2 domain were not inhibited by a murine monoclonal antibody A2 inhibitory, mAb 413, whereas hybrids containing substitutions at 387-403, 387-444, and 387-468 were inhibited by mAb 413. This indicates that the segment bounded by Arg484 and Ile508 contains a major determinant of the A2 epitope. mAb 413 did not inhibit two more hybrids that contained porcine substitutions at residues 484-488 and 489-508, indicating that amino acid side chains on both sides of the Ser488-Arg489 bond within the Arg484-Ile508 segment contribute to the A2 epitope. The 484-508, 484-488, and 489-508 porcine substitution hybrids displayed decreased inhibition by A2 inhibitors from four patient plasmas, suggesting that there is little variation in the structure of the A2 ...Continue Reading
