Six amino acid residues in a 1200 Å2 interface mediate binding of factor VIII to an IgG4κ inhibitory antibody.

Six amino acid residues in a 1200 Å2 interface mediate binding of factor VIII to an IgG4κ inhibitory antibody.

The development of neutralizing anti-factor VIII (FVIII) antibodies complicates the treatment of many hemophilia A patients. The C-terminal C2 domain is a particularly antigenic FVIII region. A crystal structure of recombinant FVIII-C2 bound to an Fab fragment of the patient-derived monoclonal antib...
