MODIFIED FVIII HAVING REDUCED IMMUNOGENICITY THROUGH MUTAGENESIS OF A2 AND C2 EPITOPES

摘要

Specific amino acid loci of human fVIII interact with inhibitory antibodies of hemophilia patients after being treated with fVIII. Modified fVIII is disclosed in which the amino acid sequence is changed by multiple substitutions in human fVIII A2 and C2 domains. The modified fVIII is useful for hemophiliacs, either to avoid or prevent the action of inhibitory antibodies.
