A new recombinant factor VIII: from genetics to clinical use
Advances in recombinant technology and knowledge about coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) are building a platform for new therapeutic options in patients with hemophilia A. The development of turoctocog alfa, a novel, high-purity, third-generation, B-domain truncated recombinant FVIII, has been produced and formulated without the use of animal-derived or human serum-derived components, in the wake...
متن کاملFACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY
Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...
متن کاملCharacterization of recombinant human factor VIII.
Recently, complete human factor VIII DNA clones have been obtained and subsequently expressed in baby hamster kidney cells (Wood, W. I., Capon, D. J., Simonsen, C. C., Eaton, D. L., Gitschier, J., Keyt, B., Seeburg, P. H., Smith, D. H., Hollingshead, P., Wion, K. L., Delwart, E., Tuddenham, E. G. D., Vehar, G. A., and Lawn, R. M. (1984) Nature 312, 330-337). The recombinant factor VIII (rVIII) ...
متن کاملCombined Factor V and VIII Deficiency
This review summarizes current data on the pathomechanisms and new genetic findings of combined factor V and VIII deficiency (CF5F8D). Congenital haemorrhagic disorders characterized by deficiency of two clotting factors comprise an interesting group. Among dual coagulation disorders, CF5F8D is the most common type. For the first time combined factor V and VIII deficiency (F5F8D) was reported b...
متن کاملPorcine recombinant factor VIII: an additional weapon to handle anti-factor VIII antibodies.
This review focuses on the use of recombinant porcine factor VIII (FVIII) for the treatment of bleeding episodes in patients with severe haemophilia A complicated by inhibitors and in those with acquired haemophilia A due to the onset of anti-FVIII autoantibodies. We present the main characteristics of recombinant porcine factor VIII (FVIII) and provide a summary of the published results of the...
