Catalytic anti-factor VIII allo-antibodies.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of determining the presence of catalytic anti-Factor VIII allo-antibodies capable of degrading Factor VIII in a mammal, and of characterising the cleavage sites in said Factor VIII molecule by said catalytic anti-Factor VIII allo-antibodies. It also relates to an anti-Factor VIII allo-antibody-catalysed Factor VIII degradation inhibitor ; and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said catalytic anti-Factor VIII allo-antibodies which are capable of degrading Factor VIII and which originate from said method of determination; and further to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said anti-Factor VIII allo-antibody-catalysed Factor VIII degradation inhibitor. Finally, the present invention relates to the application in therapeutics of said anti-Factor VIII allo-antibody-catalysed Factor VIII degradation inhibitor, of a pharmaceutical composition comprising said catalytic anti-Factor VIII allo-antibodies which are capable of degrading Factor VIII and which originate from said method of determination, and of a pharmaceutical composition comprising said anti-Factor VIII allo-antibody-catalysed Factor VIII degradation inhibitor.
