Factor V inhibitors may develop as spontaneous autoantibodies, as
alloantibodies after exposure to bovine thrombin preparations, or in
factor V-deficient patients after plasma therapy. Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities to
life-threatening hemorrhage. We have characterized the anti-factor V
antibodies from 12 patients diagnosed with factor V inhibitors. In 8 patients, hemorrhagic complications (5 autoantibodies and 3 bovine
thrombin-induced alloantibodies) developed, and 4 were asymptomatic (2 autoantibodies and 2 alloantibodies). The IgG fractions from all 12 patients immunoprecipitated the factor Va light chain, but only the 8 IgG fractions associated with hemorrhage inhibited factor V activity in
a prothrombinase assay. Nine IgG fractions, including the 8 patients
with hemorrhage, immunoprecipitated the isolated second
C-type domain (C2). The 8 IgG fractions from the symptomatic
patients also immunoprecipitated recombinant chimeras containing only
the N-terminal third of the factor V C2 domain, and isolated
recombinant C2 domain abrogated the inhibitory effect of the
antibodies. Five of the inhibitory IgG fractions blocked binding of
factor V to phosphatidylserine. These results suggest that inhibitory
anti-factor V antibodies are associated with hemorrhagic manifestations and frequently bind to a common region within the C2
domain, whether originating spontaneously or after exposure to bovine
thrombin.
