Abstract: The invention relates to ADAMTS13 protein variants comprising residues 1 to 685 of ADAMTS13 and wherein one or more N-linked glycosylation sites are added as compared to wild-type ADAMTS13 and/or one or more existing N-linked glycosylation sites are shifted as compared to wild-type ADAMTS13. The invention further relates to compositions comprising such ADAMTS13 variants, methods for their preparation and uses thereof, in particular as an antithrombotic agent, and in the treatment of thrombotic disease, thrombotic microangiopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic—uremic syndrome (HUS), ischemic stroke, systemic thrombosis, COVID19, antiphospholipid syndrome, pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome, sepsis and sickle cell disease.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of peptides derived from and antibodies generated against Factor VIII and the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP. Furthermore, the present invention concerns a method to inhibit LRP interaction with Factor VIII as well as a method to decrease Factor VIII degradation and/or prolong Factor VIII half-life in a biological fluid and/or a method to treat patients suffering from a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A. The present invention also concerns a pharmaceutical composition useful for the decrease of Factor VIII degradation in a biological fluid, the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP, and/or the prolongation of Factor VIII half-life in a biological fluid for treatment of a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A.

Abstract: A polynucleotide, comprising a contiguous nucleotide sequence coding for a human antibody with factor VIII specificity, or complementary to a nucleotide sequence coding for a human antibody for factor VIII specificity, or capable of selectively hybridizing under stringent conditions to such nucleotide sequence. Such polynucleotide may be used as a probe or primer for detection of factor VIII inhibitors, or be used for producing a recombinant polypeptide. A polypeptide, comprising a contiguous amino acid sequence corresponding to or mimicking a fragment or derivative of a human antibody with factor VIII specificity capable of specific binding to factor VIII. An antibody, comprising a recombinant human antibody with factor VIII specificity or an anti-idiotypic antibody directed against a human antibody with factor VIII specificity. Pharmaceutical compositions which contain such polypeptide or antibody.

Abstract: This invention relates to the diagnosis of congenital defects in the anticoagulant protein C system. Methods that are disclosed are based on the detection of mutations at the cleavage sites of coagulation factors that are under control of activated protein C (APC). Diagnostic tests include analysis of the APC-cleavage sites of factor V and factor VIII, by using specific primers to amplify selectively from RNA, cDNA derived from RNA or chromosomal DNA, parts of factor V and factor VIII that contain cleavage sites for APC. Methods that monitor the presence of mutations at the cleavage sites for APC and their utility in the diagnosis of thrombo-embolic disease are disclosed. The invention further discloses methods for correcting the defects detected according to the invention, as well as novel therapeutic agents which can be used in the treatment of bleeding disorders, which agents are based on the "defective" Factor V and Factor VIII proteins leading to the thrombotic disorders described hereinabove.
