Previous studies have shown that platelet-specific factor VIII (FVIII) expression (2bF8) restores hemostasis and induces immune tolerance in hemophilia A (HA) mice even with preexisting inhibitors. Here we investigated for the first time whether platelet FVIII expression can prevent severe spontaneous bleeding in rat HA, a model mimicking the frequent spontaneous bleeding in patients with severe HA. A novel...
