Immune reactions identified that may cause antibody development in hemophilia A cases

Medical Xpress

Patients usually receive FVIII that comes from donor blood or is produced using genetic engineering. However, about one third of those treated for severe hemophilia A develop antibodies (inhibitors) against FVIII.
