A serious complication in hemophilia care is the development of factor VIII (FVIII) neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors). The authors used V gene phage display technology to define human anti-FVIII antibodies at the molecular level. The IgG4-specific, variable, heavy-chain gene repertoire of a patient with acquired hemophilia was combined with a nonimmune, variable, light-chain gene repertoire for display as single-chain variable domain antibody fragments (scFv) on filamentous phage. ScFv were selected by 4 rounds of panning on immobilized FVIII light chain. Sequence analysis revealed that isolated scFv were characterized by VH domains encoded by germline genes DP-10, DP-14, and DP-88, all belonging to the VH1 gene family. All clones displayed extensive hypermutation and were characterized by unusually long CDR3 sequences of 20 to 23 amino acids. Immunoprecipitation revealed that all scFv examined bound to the C2 domain of FVIII. Furthermore, isolated scFv competed with an inhibitory murine monoclonal antibody for binding to the C2 domain. Even though scFv bound FVIII with high affinity, they did not inhibit FVIII activity. Interestingly, the addition of scFv diminished the inhibitory potential of patient-derived antibodies with C2 domain specificity. These results suggest that the epitope of a significant portion of anti-C2 domain antibodies overlaps with that of the scFv isolated in this study.
