The application discloses bispecific TFPI antibodies that are capable of specifically and simultaneously binding two epitopes within TFPI (1-161). Such bispecific antibodies strongly enhance thrombin generation by neutralising TFPI, even where the concentration of TFPI is elevated. Bispecific antibodies of the invention or compositions comprising them may be used for the treatment of subjects with a coagulopathy.

Antibodies capable of binding two epitopes on tissue factor pathway inhibitor (1-161)

Described are procoagulant proteins which may, for example, be fusion proteins or chemical conjugates; methods of producing procoagulant proteins; polynucleotides that encode fusion proteins and cells that expresses them. Furthermore, described are procoagulant proteins for use as a medicament. Individuals that have a coagulopathy, such as haemophilia A and B with or without inhibitors, may be treated with such procoagulant proteins.

Coagulation factor-targeting to TREM-like transcript 1 (TLT-1) on activated platelets

The application discloses a combination of two monospecific TFPI antibodies, wherein one antibody is capable of specifically binding TFPI (1-181) and the other antibody is capable of specifically binding TFPI (182-276), as well as bispecific anti-TFPI antibodies derived from two such monospecific antibodies. Both the combination of the two monospecific antibodies and the bispecific antibody strongly enhance thrombin generation by neutralising full length TFPI&#x3b1;, even where the concentration of TFPI is abnormally elevated.

Antibodies capable of specifically binding two epitopes on tissue factor pathway inhibitor

The current invention relates to procoagulant fusion proteins, polynucleotides that encode said fusion proteins and cells that expresses said fusion proteins. Furthermore, the current invention relates to fusion proteins for use as a medicament. Individuals that have a coagulopathy, such as haemophilia A and B with or without inhibitors, may be treated with fusions proteins of the current invention.

Targeting tissue factor to activated platelets

The invention relates to a method for the production of a Factor VIII polypeptide, the method comprising the steps of a) culturing a mammalian cell expressing a Factor VIII polypeptide under conditions for expression of said Factor VIII polypeptide, said culturing conditions involving a cell culture medium comprising a C2-domain ligand, and b) isolating the expressed Factor VIII polypeptide from the mammalian cell by suitable means.

Factor VIII polypeptide titers in cell cultures

The invention relates to antibodies that specifically bind to tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and that reduce the clotting time of blood. Such antibodies have utility in the treatment of subjects with a coagulopathy.

Antibodies against tissue factor pathway inhibitor

The invention relates to antibodies that are capable of specifically binding tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), neutralising free TFPI and reducing the clotting time of blood. Furthermore, the invention relates to polynucleotides that encode such antibodies and to cells that comprise the polynucleotides or that express the antibodies of the invention. Such antibodies have utility in the treatment of subjects with a coagulopathy, alone as well as in combination with a second agent.

Furthermore, the invention relates to polynucleotides that encode such antibodies and to cells that comprise the polynucleotides or that express the antibodies of the invention. Such antibodies have utility in the treatment of subjects with a coagulopathy, alone as well as in combination with a second agent.

The present invention relates to therapeutic FVIII antibodies. In particular, the present invention relates to FVIII antibodies having the ability to prolong the circulatory half life of FVIII. The present invention furthermore relates to use of such antibodies in treatment and prophylaxis of haemophilia A.

Therapeutic factor VIII antibodies

Methods of treating coagulopathies using antibodies against tissue factor pathway inhibitor

The invention relates to antibodies that specifically bind to tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and that reduce clotting time in (a) human FVIII-deficient plasma and/or (b) human whole blood. Such antibodies have utility in the treatment of bleeding disorders and in the stimulation of blood clotting.
