| Abstract | Administration of recombinant factor VIII (FVIII), an important co-factor in blood clotting cascade, elicits unwanted anti-FVIII antibodies in hemophilia A (HA) patients. Previously, FVIII associated with phosphatidylserine (PS) showed significant reduction in the anti-FVIII antibody response in HA mice. The reduction in the immune response to FVIII-PS could be due either to a failure of the immune system to recognize the antigen (i.e. immunological ignorance) or to an active induction of an antigen-specific nonresponsiveness (i.e. immunological tolerance). If it were a result of tolerance, one would predict that pre-exposure to FVIII-PS would render the mice hypo-responsive to a subsequent FVIII challenge. Here, we have demonstrated that naive HA mice that were pretreated with FVIII-PS showed a significantly reduced FVIII immune response to further challenge with native FVIII and that this decreased responsiveness could be adoptively transferred to other mice. An increase in number of FoxP3-expressing CD4+ regulatory T-cells (Treg) was observed for the FVIII-PS-immunized group as compared with animals that received FVIII alone, suggesting the involvement of Treg in PS-mediated hypo-responsiveness. The PS-mediated reduction in antibody response was reversed by the co-administration of function-blocking anti-TGF-β antibody with FVIII-PS. The decreased response to FVIII induced by FVIII-PS was determined to be antigen-specific because the immune response to another non-cross-reactive antigen (ovalbumin) was not altered. These results are consistent with the notion that FVIII-PS is tolerogenic and suggest that immunization with this tolerogenic form of the protein could be a useful treatment option to minimize immunogenicity of FVIII and other protein-based therapeutics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
