Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is a multidomain glycoprotein in which the FVIII A2 domain is a key structural element. We aimed at identifying residues within FVIII A2 domain that are crucial for the maintenance of the cofactor function. A high number (n=206) of mutants were generated by substituting original residues with alanine. The mutants were expressed in COS-1 cells and their antigen levels and...
