Global coagulation function potentials on FVIII K1813A, K1818A, and K1813A/K1818A mutants. (A). FVIII WT (1 nM) or mutants (K1813A; 0.5 and 1 nM; K1818A, 1 nM; K1813A/K1818A, 1 nM) were added to commercial FVIII-deficient plasma. These samples were incubated with TF (1 pM) and PL vesicles (4 μM) before the addition of fluorogenic substrate and CaCl2 at the start of the assay. Experiments were performed 3 separate times, and the mean values are shown thrombin generation curves are shown (black; WT 1 nM, red; K1813A 1 nM, tangerine; K1813A 0.5 nM, blue; K1818A 1 nM, green; K1813A/K1818A 1 nM, gray; buffer). (B) ROTEM. CaCl2 was added to citrated whole blood sample (residual FVIII activity of 2.3 and <1 IU/dL) in 2 patients with severe HA, together with various concentrations of FVIII mutants (WT and K1813A), followed by a ROTEM assay. The raw blood data in 2 patients and the representative curves in 1 patient are shown. The average parameters (CT and CT+CFT) in 2 patients are shown below each figure. The CT and CT+CFT obtained from normal controls (n=20) were 938±128 seconds and 1273±217 seconds, respectively. CT, clot time; CFT, clot formation time.
