FACTOR VIII COAGULANT ACTIVITY AND FACTOR VIII-LIKE ANTIGEN: INDEPENDENT MOLECULAR ENTITIES

Factor VIII coagulant activity (VIIIC) and the von Willebrand's disease antigen (Factor VIII-like antigen, vW-Ag) are biologically linked, and it has been suggested that they reside on the same molecule. However, insolubilized human isoantibody to VIIIC and rabbit antiserum containing antibodi...

Brief Definitive Reports Factor VIII coagulant activity (VIIIC) and the von Willebrand's disease antigen (Factor VIII-like antigen, vW-Ag) are biologically linked, and it has been suggested that they reside on the same molecule. However, insolubilized human isoantibody to VIIIC and rabbit antiserum containing antibodies to VIIIC and vW-Ag differentially bind and remove these entities from plasma, thus physically segregating one from the other. These findings indicate that Factor VIII coagulant activity resides on a molecule distinct from that expressing the von Willebrand's antigen.
