No effect of a new second-generation B-domain-deleted recombinant product on lymphocyte transformation in vitro: a study of plasma-derived and recombinant products

Abstract
Immunomodulatory effects of various factor VIII and factor IX clotting factor concentrates (CFCs) and of albumin were evaluated by a sensitive assay measuring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes in the presence of monodansylthiacadaverine. In contrast to previous findings by others, we found lymphocyte transformation to be inhibited by all plasma-derived factor VIII concentrates at concentrations of 0.02, 0.2 and 2.0 IU/ml, including those purified by monoclonal antibodies (P < 0.05). Kryobulin TIM3 had the most pronounced effect. In addition, three plasma-derived human albumin preparations exerted a similar inhibitory effect as the factor VIII concentrates, whereas the corresponding... (More)
Immunomodulatory effects of various factor VIII and factor IX clotting factor concentrates (CFCs) and of albumin were evaluated by a sensitive assay measuring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes in the presence of monodansylthiacadaverine. In contrast to previous findings by others, we found lymphocyte transformation to be inhibited by all plasma-derived factor VIII concentrates at concentrations of 0.02, 0.2 and 2.0 IU/ml, including those purified by monoclonal antibodies (P < 0.05). Kryobulin TIM3 had the most pronounced effect. In addition, three plasma-derived human albumin preparations exerted a similar inhibitory effect as the factor VIII concentrates, whereas the corresponding plasma-derived factor IX concentrates only manifested minor immunomodulatory effects. Of the recombinant preparations, only Recombinate exerted an inhibitory effect at 0.02 and 0.2 IU/ml, whereas both Kogenate and Recombinate decreased 3H-thymidine incorporation at 2.0 IU/ml (P = 0.01). No immunomodulatory effect at all was observed with r-VIII SQ, a new B-domain-deleted recombinant factor VIII preparation free from added albumin. The significance of this finding regarding immunological side-effects including inhibitor development remains to be evaluated, but this second-generation recombinant product opens up new and interesting perspectives yet to be explored.
