Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetically engineered disulfide bonds in B-domain-deleted factor (F) VIII variants (C662-C1828 FVIII and C664-C1826 FVIII) improve FVIIIa stability by blocking A2 domain dissociation because the new disulfide covalently links the A2 and A3 domains in FVIIIa. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the hypothesis that these variants have physiologically relevant properties because of prolonged...
