ANTAGONISTS OF FACTOR VIII INTERACTION WITH LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN RECEPTOR-RELATED PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention concerns the use of peptides derived from and antibodies generated against Factor VIII and the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP. Furthermore, the present invention concerns a method to inhibit LRP interaction with Factor VIII as well as a method to decrease Factor VIII degradation and/or prolong Factor VIII half-life in a biological fluid and/or a method to treat patients suffering from a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A. The present invention also concerns a pharmaceutical composition useful for the decrease of Factor VIII degradation in a biological fluid, the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP, and/or the prolongation of Factor Vlll half-life in a biological fluid for treatment of a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A.
