AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention relates to a recombinant Factor VIII molecule, wherein said molecule has reduced vWF binding capacity, and wherein said molecule is covalently conjugated with at least one side group. The invention furthermore relates to methods for making such molecules as well as use of such molecules. Such molecules are having a modified circulatory half life.

Problems solved by technology

The clinical manifestation is not on primary haemostasis—formation of the blood clot occurs normally—but the clot is unstable due to a lack of secondary thrombin formation.
IV administration is for many, especially children and young persons, associated with significant inconvenience and / or pain.

Production of Recombinant B Domain Truncated O-Glycosylated Factor VIII and Variants Thereof, e.g., Factor VIII (Y1680F) or Factor VIII (Y1680C)

[0091]Cell Line and Culture Process

[0092]Using Factor VIII cDNA, a mammalian expression plasmid was constructed. The plasmids encodes a B-domain deleted Factor VIII comprising the Y1680F mutation, the Factor VIII heavy chain comprising amino acid 1-740 of full length human Factor VIII, and Factor VIII light chain comprising amino acid 1649-2332 of full length human Factor VIII. The heavy and light chain sequences are connected by a 21 amino acid linker (SFSQNSRHPSQNPPVLKRHQR—SEQ ID NO 4) comprising the sequence of amino acid 741-750 and 1638-1648 of full length human Factor VIII. FVIII variants comprising the linker defined in SEQ ID NO 4 may also herein be referred to as “N8”. The Factor VIII amino acid sequence encoded by this plasmid is as set forth in SEQ ID NO 1 (wt), SEQ ID NO 2 (Y1680F), SEQ ID NO 3 (Y1680C)

Procedure for PEGylation of Recombinant O-Glycosylated Factor VIII

[0102]The recombinant Factor VIII molecules obtained in Example 1 are conjugated with poly-ethyleneglycol (PEG) using the following procedure:

[0103]For the glycoPEGylation reaction to be efficient a FVIII concentration >5 mg / ml is required. Since FVIII is not normally soluble at the concentration a screening of selected buffer compositions was conducted (see table 1). Based on these considerations a buffer containing 50 mM MES, 50 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 20% glycerol, pH 6.0 was found to be a suitable reaction buffer.
