Bacterial Production of Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIII Domains.

ABSTRACT: Factor VIII (F8) is a blood coagulation protein prearranged in six domains, and its deficiency causes hemophilia A. To fashion functional F8 therapeutics, development of a recombinant F8 (rF8) domain is essential not only for F8 substitution, but also to decipher the F8-related mechanisms. In this study, we generated Glutathione S-transferase (GST)-conjugated recombinant A2 and A3 domains of F8 using Escherichia coli. The high growth rate and economically advantageous protein production system in terms of inexpensive reagents and materials in E. coli cells facilitated the completion of entire process from protein expression to purification in 3-4 days with low production cost. Subsequent assessment of these purified proteins using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and
