UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The factor VIII (FVIII) B domain shares very little amino acid homology with other known proteins and is not directly necessary for procoagulant activity.

Given that the B domain is dispensable for secretion and function of FVIII, we hypothesized that these mutations should...
