The occurrence of factor VIII inhibitor in five mild or moderately affected liaemophilic patients is described. In four patients the inhibitor inactivated endogenous factor VIII an dtemporarily converted them to severely affected haemophiliacs with factor VIII level of 0%. In the fifth patient, a brother of one of the others, the inhibitor although more potent did not inactivate the patient’s own factor VIII and did not completely inactivate normal factor VIII in vitro. This patient responded to treatment with factor-VIII concentrate but the in-vivo recovery was reduced. The patient’s plasma was tested against a panel of normal donors but it inactivated factor VIII in each to a similar extent and no evidence for normal factor-VIII groups was obtained. In the other patients the response to replacement treatment was also better than that usually seen in severely affected haemophilic patients with inhibitor. In the two related patients the inhibitors have so far persisted but in the unrelated patients the inhibitors eventually disappeared and did not always recur with subsequent therapy. The incidence of factor- VIII inhibitor in less severe haemophiliacs (factor VIII > 3% ) in this centre is 6% suggesting that the complication is more frequent in this type of patient than hitherto recognised.

SummaryIn response to reports of discrepant in vitro assays of high-purity concentrates, a double-blind crossover study of in vivo recovery and half-life of two brands of monoclonal-antibody-purified factor VIII concentrates (Monoclate and Hemofil-M) was performed in 23 patients with hemophilia A. In vivo recoveries were close to values predicted from the labelled unitage when plasma samples were assayed by a one-stage method. When a two-stage assay was used, lower recoveries were calculated and the recovery with Hemofil-M was slightly but significantly lower than that with Monoclate. The concentrates were re-assayed in vitro by the two-stage method. Monoclate (which is assayed by the manufacturer using a two-stage method) contained 97% of the labelled potency and Hemofil-M (which is assayed by the manufacturer using a one-stage method) contained 81% of the labelled potency. Differences in in vitro and in vivo assay methods contribute to disparities between expected and observed factor VIII recovery. Clearance of Hemofil-M was significantly faster than that of Monoclate, but volume of distribution at the steady state, mean residence time, and plasma half-disappearance times of the two concentrates were not significantly different.

Five different factor VIII concentrates, AHF-Kabi(=fraction 1-0), Krynativ-Kabi(=cryoprecipitate), Hemofil-Hyland, AHF-Profilate-Abbott, Kryobulin-Immuno, available in Sweden for treatment of haemophiliacs were compared with respect to in vivo recovery of F VIII:C and survival time and in vitro properties. The parameters studied were F VIII:C, F VIIIR:AG, crossed Immunoelectrophoresis, F VIII:Rcof, fibrinogen content and F XIII activity. All the preparations had higher values for F VIIIR:AG than for F VIII:C. The quotient was highest for Hemofil, Krynativ-Kabi and Kryobulin and varied between 4 and 7. The lowest quotient, 1.3 to 4, showed AHF-Kabi. The units of F VIII:Rcof were almost the same as the units of F VIII:C. AHF-Kabi had the highest fibrinogen content and was the only preparation with high amounts of F XIII. In cross Immunoelectrophoresis AHF-Kabi showed a similar pattern to that of normal plasma. The other preparation had a different pattern suggesting less hetero-genicity of the molecule. The in vivo recovery was about the same for all the concentrates but AHF-Kabi had a significantly longer half-life (18-26 hrs); the corresponding figures for Hemofil were 8-16 hrs when given to the same patients. Only AHF-Kabi was able to completely normalize the defect in von Willebrand’s disease.

SummaryFactor VIII can be isolated from plasma proteins, including fibrinogen by chromatography on agarose. The best results were obtained with Sepharose 6B. Large scale preparation is also possible when cryoprecipitate is separated by chromatography. In most fractions containing factor VIII a turbidity is observed which may be due to the presence of chylomicrons.The purified factor VIII was active in vivo as well as in vitro.

SummaryFactor VIII complex and its interaction with antibodies to factor VIII have been studied in 17 non-haemophilic patients with factor VIII inhibitor. Low VIII:C and high VIIIR.Ag levels were found in all patients. VIII:WF levels were 50% of those of VTIIRrAg, possibly related to an increase of poorly aggregated and electrophoretically fast moving VIIIR:Ag oligomers.Antibody function has been characterized by kinetics of VIII :C inactivation, saturability by normal plasma and the slope of the affinity curve. Two major patterns were observed:1) Antibodies from 6 patients behaved similarly to those from haemophiliacs by showing second order inhibition kinetics, easy saturability and steep affinity slope (> 1).2) Antibodies from other patients, usually with lower titres, inactivated VIII :C according to complex order kinetics, were not saturable, and had a less steep affinity slope (< 0.7). In native plasma, or after mixing with factor VIII concentrate, antibodies of the second group did not form immune complexes with the whole factor VIII molecular complex. However, dissociation procedures did release some antibodies from apparently low molecular weight complexes formed in vivo or in vitro. For appropriate management of non-haemophilic patients with factor VIII inhibitor, it is important to determine the functional properties of their antibodies to factor VIII.

SummaryThe natural course of defibrination syndrome caused by Echis colorata venom (ECV) in five patients is reported. All patients developed afibrinogenemia within six hours after the bite. Concomitantly a depression in factor V was recorded. Factor VIII and thrombocyte count in blood were normal in most patients. In the light of the known effects of ECV on blood coagulation in vivo and in vitro it is concluded that the afibrinogenemia is due to intravascular clotting.Four patients had transient renal damage, manifested by oliguria, azotemia, albuminuria and cylindruria, ascribed to microthrombi in the renal glomeruli.After the bite, the natural course was benign, no major bleeding was observed, and all signs of coagulopathy reverted to normal within 7 days. Therefore we recommend no specific treatment for this condition. In the case of heavily bleeding patients, administration of antiserum against ECV and/or heparin should be considered.

SummaryThrombin acts on several coagulant proteins to produce products with physiologic, pharmacologic and pathologic potential. The most sensitive thrombin substrate seems to be factor VIII. Some thrombin dependent reactions studied in vitro and proposed as control reactions seem too insensitive to the action of thrombin to be of in vivo significance.The only enzymic reaction the thrombin-like venom enzymes, Ancrod and Batroxobin, have in common with thrombin is the removal of fibrinopeptide A.

SummaryThe development of inhibitors to factor VIII in patients with haemophilia A remains as a serious complication of replacement therapy. An apparently analogous condition has been described in a canine model of haemophilia A (Giles et al., Blood 1984; 63:451). These animals and their relatives have now been followed for 10 years. The observation that the propensity for inhibitor development was not related to the ancestral factor VIII gene has been confirmed by the demonstration of vertical transmission through three generations of the segment of the family related to a normal (non-carrier) female that was introduced for breeding purposes. Haemophilic animals unrelated to this animal have not developed functionally significant factor VIII inhibitors despite intensive factor VIII replacement. Two animals have shown occasional laboratory evidence of factor VIII inhibition but this has not been translated into clinical significant inhibition in vivo as assessed by clinical response and F.VIII recovery and survival characteristics. Substantial heterogeneity of inhibitor expression both in vitro and in vivo has been observed between animals and in individual animals over time. Spontaneous loss of inhibitors has been observed without any therapies designed to induce tolerance, etc., being instituted. There is also phenotypic evidence of polyclonality of the immune response with variable expression over time in a given animal. These observations may have relevance to the human condition both in determining the pathogenetic factors involved in this condition and in highlighting the heterogeneity of its expression which suggests the need for caution in the interpretation of the outcome of interventions designed to modulate inhibitor activity.

Defective ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been observed in patients treated with streptokinase. This same effect appears “in vitro” when adding SK to platelet rich plasma (PRP). Classic hemophilia and normal platelet poor plasmas (PPP) treated with SK inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets; plasmin-treated normal human serum also shows an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. However, von Willebrand SK-treated plasmas do not inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets. The same results appear when plasmas are previously treated with a rabbit antibody to human factor VIII.This confirms that the antiaggregating effect is mainly linked to the digested factor VIII related antigen.The inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been proved in gel filtration-isolated and washed platelets from SK-treated PRP.Defective ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation has also been observed- This action does not appear in washed platelets from SK-treated PRP in presence of normal PPP, but it does in presence of SK-treated PPP, which suggests that the inhibition of the ristocetin-induced aggregation is due to the lack of factor VIII and not to the factor VIII-related products.Heparin, either “in vivo” or “in vitro”, has corrected the antiaggregating effect of SK.
