Abstract excerpt
The acidic region of the Factor VIII light chain was studied with regard to structural requirements for the formation of a functional von Willebrand factor (vWF)-binding site. Factor VIII mutants lacking the B domain, with additional deletions and an amino acid replacement within the sequence 1649-1689 were constructed using site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in Cos-1 cells. These mutants, which were...
