Abstract
Autoimmune thyroiditis is a group of organ-specific autoimmune thyropathies, which are caused by a genetically determined defect in immune tolerance to thyroid antigens, as a result of which its autoimmune damage occurs. The aim of the study was to analyze literature data on the pathogenetic role of genetic and biochemical parameters in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.

Abstract
Immunoglobulins are known to combine various effector mechanisms of the adaptive and the innate immune system. Classical immunoglobulin functions are associated with antigen recognition and the initiation of innate immune responses. However, in addition to classical functions, antibodies exhibit a variety of non-canonical functions related to the destruction of various pathogens due to catalytic activity and cofactor effects, the action of antibodies as agonists/antagonists of various receptors, the control of bacterial diversity of the intestine, etc. Canonical and non-canonical functions reflect the extreme human antibody repertoire and the variety of antibody types generated in the organism: antigen-specific, natural, polyreactive, broadly neutralizing, homophilic, bispecific and catalytic. The therapeutic effects of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are associated with both the canonical and non-canonical functions of antibodies. In this review, catalytic antibodies will be considered in more detail, since their formation is associated with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We will systematically summarize the diversity of catalytic antibodies in normal and pathological conditions. Translational perspectives of knowledge about natural antibodies for IVIg therapy will be also discussed.

Abstract
The typical functions of antibodies are based on linking the process of antigen recognition with initiation of innate immune reactions. With the introduction of modern research technologies and the use of sophisticated model systems, recent years have witnessed the discovery of a number of noncanonical functions of antibodies. These functions encompass either untypical strategies for neutralization of pathogens or exertion of activities that are characteristic for other proteins (cytokines, chaperones, or enzymes). Here, we provide an overview of the noncanonical functions of antibodies and discuss their mechanisms and implications in immune regulation and defense. A better comprehension of these functions will enrich our knowledge of the adaptive immune response and shall inspire the development of novel therapeutics.

Abstract
The development of neutralizing antibodies in hemophilia is a serious complication of factor replacement therapy. These antibodies, also known as "inhibitors", significantly increase morbidity within the hemophilia population and lower the quality of life for these patients. People with severe hemophilia A have an overall 25-40% lifetime risk of inhibitor development, compared to that of 5-15% lifetime risk in those with moderate/mild hemophilia A. The risk is lower in hemophilia B population (about 1-5%) and occurrence of inhibitors is almost only seen in patients with severe hemophilia B. The understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism leading to the development of inhibitors in patients with hemophilia has improved considerably over the last 2 decades. Identification of early biomarkers which predict inhibitor development in previously untreated patients with hemophilia will assist in risk identification and possible early intervention strategies. In this review, we aim to summarize the molecular mechanisms of inhibitor development in hemophilia and to identify potential areas in need of further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antibodies with catalytic (hydrolytic) properties to DNA or RNA have been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, it is well known that ethnicity plays an important role in the presentation of SLE and severity of the disease; hence, these data may not truly represent a general feature of all SLE patients. Therefore, we have analyzed the hydrolyzing activity of immunoglobulin G (IgG) of SLE patients from the Indian population with an aim to decode whether the catalytic antibody response represents part of an active disease process. METHODS IgGs were isolated from the sera of 72 consecutive patients diagnosed with SLE. As a control, IgGs from healthy donors were used. The catalytic activity of IgG was measured by PFR-MCA and affinity-linked oligonucleotide nuclease assay. RESULTS IgGs from patients with SLE from the Indian subcontinent displayed significantly higher hydrolysis rates of both the surrogate substrate, PFR-MCA, and the DNA than IgG from healthy individuals. Intergroup comparisons of the IgG-PFR-MCA interactions with clinical manifestations of the disease demonstrated a significantly increased level of hydrolysis among the patients with renal involvement who tested positive for anti-dsDNA antibodies. The PFR-MCA hydrolysis also appears to be associated with the active disease (p=0.0988, vs. inactive group). CONCLUSION The prevalence of catalytic antibodies represents a general feature of SLE patients, irrespective of their origin.

Abstract
Renal transplant is the treatment of choice for patients with terminal end-stage renal disease. We have previously identified low levels of catalytic IgG as a potential prognosis marker for chronic allograft rejection. The origin and physiopathological relevance of catalytic Abs is not well understood, owing to the fact that catalytic Abs have been studied in relatively small cohorts of patients with rare diseases and/or without systematic follow-up. In the current study, we have followed the evolution of the levels of catalytic IgG in a large cohort of renal transplant patients over a 2-y period. Our results demonstrate that, prior to transplant, patients with renal failure present with heterogeneous levels of IgG hydrolyzing the generic proline-phenylalanine-arginine-methylcoumarinamide (PFR-MCA) substrate. PFR-MCA hydrolysis was greater for patients' IgG than for a therapeutic preparation of pooled IgG from healthy donors. Renal transplant was marked by a drastic decrease in levels of catalytic IgG over 3 mo followed by a steady increase during the next 21 mo. Patients who displayed high levels of catalytic IgG pretransplant recovered high levels of catalytic Abs 2 y posttransplant. Interestingly, IgG-mediated hydrolysis of a model protein substrate, procoagulant factor VIII, did not correlate with that of PFR-MCA prior transplantation, whereas it did 12 mo posttransplant. Taken together, our results suggest that the level of circulating catalytic IgG under pathological conditions is an intrinsic property of each individual's immune system and that recovery of pretransplant levels of catalytic IgG is accompanied by changes in the repertoire of target Ags.

Abstract
AIM Hemophilia A is a rare inherited bleeding disorder resulting from factor VIII deficiency and is a group of diseases characterized by intra-articular and intramuscular bleeding. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the treatment outcomes, demographic and clinical characteristics of our patients who were treated and followed up for last 17 years in our pediatric hematology unit with a diagnosis of Hemophilia A. MATERIAL AND METHODS The medical records of 83 patients who were diagnosed with Hemophilia A and followed up between 1997 and 2014 in our hospital's pediatric hematology clinic were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic data, prophylaxis state, development of inhibitors and clinical characteristics of the patients were evaluated. RESULTS When the complaints at presentation were examined, it was found that 27 (32%) patients had hemarthrosis, 24 (29%) patients had ecchymosis and hematoma, 13 (16%) patients had prolonged bleeding after trauma or cut, 10 (12%) patients had gingival, mouth or nose bleeding, 4 (5%) patients had prolonged bleeding after circumcision, 4 (5%) patients had gastrointestinal bleeding, 1 (1%) patient had hematuria. Fifty (60%) patients were considered severe hemophilia A, 20 (24%) patients were considered moderate hemophilia A and 13 (16%) patients were considered mild hemophilia A according to factor activity. Among severe hemophilia A patients, primary prophylaxis was being administered in 2 (2%) patients and secondary prophylaxis was being administered in 40 (48%) patients. Inhibitor positivity was found in 8 (10%) of these patients. It is found that hemophilic artropathy developed in 17 patients and 8 of these 17 patients had undergone radioisotope synovectomy. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of severe bleeding in hemophilia A patients should be performed in hospital and the presence of inhibitor must be investigated in cases of uncontrolled bleeding where adequate doses of factor concentrates have been administered for treatment. In order to decrease the development of inhibitor, prophlaxis should be suggested to patients rather than repetetive treatment when bleeding occurs. The radioactive synovectomy should not be overlooked in countries like ours in which factors can not be used adequately.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of inhibitory antibodies has been the focus of major scientific interest over the last decades, and several studies on underlying immune mechanisms and risk factors for formation of these antibodies have been performed with the aim of improving the ability to both predict and prevent their appearance. It seems clear that the decisive factors for the immune response to the deficient factor are multiple and involve components of both a constitutional and therapy-related nature. A scientific concern and obstacle for research in the area of hemophilia is the relatively small cohorts available for studies and the resulting risk of confounded and biased results. Careful interpretation of data is recommended to avoid treatment decisions based on a weak scientific platform. This review will summarize current concepts of the underlying immunological mechanisms and risk factors for development of inhibitory antibodies in patients with hemophilia A and discuss how these findings may be interpreted and influence our clinical management of patients.

Abstract
Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare hemorrhagic disease in which autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII- (FVIII-) neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) impair the intrinsic coagulation system. As the inhibitors developed in AHA are autoantibodies, the disease may have an autoimmune cause and is often associated with autoimmune disease. Although acute hemorrhage associated with AHA may be fatal and is costly to treat, AHA is often unrecognized or misdiagnosed. AHA should thus be considered in the differential diagnosis particularly in postpartum women and the elderly with bleeding tendency or prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Cross-mixing tests and measurement of FVIII-binding antibodies are useful to confirm AHA diagnosis. For treatment of acute hemorrhage, hemostatic therapy with bypassing agents should be provided. Unlike in congenital hemophilia A with inhibitors, in which immune tolerance induction therapy using repetitive infusions of high-dose FVIII concentrates is effective for inhibitor eradication, immune tolerance induction therapy has shown poor efficacy in treating AHA. Immunosuppressive treatment should thus be initiated to eradicate inhibitors as soon as the diagnosis of AHA is confirmed.

Abstract
Catalytic antibodies are immunoglobulins endowed with enzymatic activity. Catalytic IgG has been reported in several human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In particular, low levels of catalytic IgG have been proposed as a prognostic marker for chronic allograft rejection in patients undergoing kidney transplant. Kidney allograft is a treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal failure. Intravenous immunoglobulins, a therapeutic pool of human IgG, is used in patients with donor-specific antibodies, alone or in conjunction with other immunosuppressive treatments, to desensitize the patients and prevent the development of acute graft rejection. Here, we followed for a period of 24 months the levels of catalytic IgG towards the synthetic peptide Pro-Phe-Arg-methylcoumarinimide in a large cohort of patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Twenty-four percent of the patients received IVIg at the time of transplantation. Our results demonstrate a marked reduction in levels of catalytic antibodies in all patients three months following kidney transplant. The decrease was significantly pronounced in patients receiving adjunct IVIg therapy. The results suggests that prevention of acute graft rejection using intravenous immunoglobulins induces a transient reduction in the levels of catalytic IgG, thus potentially jeopardizing the use of levels of catalytic antibodies as a prognosis marker for chronic allograft nephropathy.

Abstract
The major complication of the substitutive treatment of haemophilia A (HA) is the development of antifactor VIII (FVIII) antibodies. Most of these antibodies neutralize FVIII procoagulant activity, and are identified as FVIII inhibitor. A subgroup of these antibodies, 'catalytic antibodies', catalyses the FVIII hydrolysis. We investigated the frequency and the activity of catalytic antibodies, according to the phenotype of HA and the presence or absence of FVIII inhibitor. IgG from 16 patients with inhibitor and 17 patients without inhibitor were purified. Rates of FVIII hydrolysis and inhibitor titres were evaluated. Anti-FVIII catalytic antibodies were detected in 63.6% of patients with HA, irrespective of the HA phenotype and the presence of FVIII inhibitor. The frequency was significantly higher for severe HA patients (73.3%) and patients with inhibitor (87.5%), but their FVIII-proteolytic activity was not significantly different from patients with mild or moderate HA and patients without inhibitor. The evolution of both catalytic and inhibitory activities was studied for 11 patients with FVIII inhibitor. We observed two profiles. In the profile 1, 18.2% of patients, the catalytic activity and the inhibitor titre coevolved. In contrast, a dissociated evolution of these two parameters was observed in 72.8% patients in profile 2. These data confirm the importance of anti-FVIII catalytic activity in patients with severe, moderate and mild HA. Interestingly, most of the patients presented a dissociated profile, suggesting that anti-FVIII antibodies might not systematically act as FVIII inhibitors.

Abstract
Among the strategies aimed at biocompatible means for organophosphorus nerve agents neutralization, immunoglobulins have attracted attention in the 1990's and 2000's both for their ability to immobilize the toxicants, but also for their ability to be turned into enzymatically active antibodies known as catalytic antibodies or abzymes (antibodies--enzymes). We will present here a critical review of the successive strategies used for the selection of these nerve agent-hydrolyzing abzymes, based on hapten design, namely antibodies raised against a wide variety of transition state analogs, and eventually the strategies based on anti-idiotypic antibodies and reactibodies.

Abstract
The unique hypervariability of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily provides a means to create both binding and catalytic antibodies with almost any desired specificity and activity. The diversity of antigens and concept of adaptive response suggest that it is possible to find an antigen pair to any raised Ig. In the current review we discuss combinatorial approaches, which makes it possible to obtain an antibody with predefined properties, followed by 3D structure-based rational design to enhance or dramatically change its characteristics. A similar strategy, but applied to the second partner of the antibody-antigen pair, may result in selection of complementary substrates to the chosen Ig. Finally, 2D screening may be performed solving the "Chicken and Egg" problem when neither antibody nor antigen is known.

Abstract
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the sudden generation of autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII) in individuals with no previous history of abnormal haemostasis. Understanding the pathogenesis of this disease has been hampered by the rarity of the patients and the difficulty in obtaining biological material from untreated patients. Still, progress has been made recently in understanding the pathogenesis of AHA. In particular, the importance of CD4(+) T cells in AHA development has been documented and the epitopes targeted by T cells on FVIII have been delineated. Accordingly, a polymorphism in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 gene (CTLA4), known to participate in the regulation of CD4(+) T-cell responses, and a preferential usage of certain human leukocyte antigen class II haplotypes, have been associated with the disease. Recent findings have documented the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) with proteolytic activity against FVIII and factor IX (FIX) in patients with AHA. While FVIII-hydrolysing IgG has been shown to inactivate FVIII, FIX-hydrolysing IgG from AHA patients activate FIX in vitro. Here, we describe the latest findings on the immuno-pathogenesis of AHA, with a special focus on the potential role played by antibodies endowed with proteolytic properties.

Abstract
Immunoglobulins (Ig) or antibodies are heavy plasma proteins, with sugar chains added to amino acid residues by N-linked glycosylation and occasionally by O-linked glycosylation. The versatility of antibodies is demonstrated by the various functions that they mediate such as neutralization, agglutination, fixation with activation of complement and activation of effector cells. In addition to this plethora of functions, some antibodies express enzymatic activity. Antibodies endowed with enzymatic properties have been described in human autoimmune manifestations in a variety of disorders such as autoimmune thyroiditis, systemic erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS) and acquired hemophilia (AH). Antibodies isolated from these conditions were able to specifically hydrolyze thyroglobulin, DNA, RNA, myelin basic protein (MBP), and factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), respectively. The therapeutic relevance of these findings is discussed.

Abstract
Acquired hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the spontaneous occurrence of inhibitory antibodies against endogenous factor VIII (FVIII). IgG from some patients with acquired hemophilia hydrolyze FVIII. Because of the complex etiology of the disease, no clinical parameter, including the presence of FVIII-hydrolyzing IgG, has been associated with patient's survival or death. Here, we demonstrate the presence of anti-FIX antibodies in acquired hemophilia patients. IgG from some patients were found to hydrolyze FIX. In most cases, IgG-mediated FIX-hydrolysis resulted in FIX activation. IgG-mediated hydrolysis of FIX thus led to the significant generation of activated FIX in 25 of 65 patients. Based on the estimated kinetic parameters, patients' IgG activated up to 0.3nM FIX in 24 hours, an amount that restored thrombin generation in vitro provided the presence of more than or equal to 3% residual FVIII activity in plasma. This work identifies proteolytic IgG as novel molecules able to activate FIX under pathologic conditions. IgG-mediated FIX activation is a prevalent phenomenon among acquired hemophilia patients. The presence of FIX-activating IgG may partly compensate for the antibody-mediated inhibition of endogenous FVIII in restoring thrombin generation. This clinical trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00213473.

Abstract
SUMMARY BACKGROUND BO2C11 is a human monoclonal factor (F) VIII inhibitor. When bound to the C2 domain of FVIII, the Fab fragment of BO2C11 (Fab(BO2C11)) buries a surface of C2 that contains residues participating in a binding site for von Willebrand factor (VWF). BO2C11 has thus been proposed to neutralize FVIII by steric hindrance. OBJECTIVES The BO2C11 epitope on C2 overlaps with residues located at the periphery of the putative VWF binding site; hence, most of the residues that constitute the VWF binding site on C2 and a3 remain accessible for VWF interaction following BO2C11/FVIII complex formation. We thus investigated the contribution of alternative molecular mechanisms to FVIII inactivation by BO2C11. METHODS Continuum electrostatic calculations were applied to the crystal structure of C2, free or Fab(BO2C11)-complexed. In silico predictions were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis and VWF-binding assays of the mutated FVIII. RESULTS Binding of Fab(BO2C11) to C2 induced perturbations in the electrostatic potential of C2 and in the local electrostatic parameters of 18 charged residues in C2, which are distant from the BO2C11 epitope. Nine of the predicted electrostatic hotspots clustered on the VWF-binding site of C2. Mutation of some of the predicted electrostatic hotspots has been associated with hemophilia A and reduced VWF binding in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Inhibitors may neutralize FVIII by alteration of protein surface electrostatics at a long distance from their epitope. Perturbation of the electrostatic environment of C2, either upon binding by anti-FVIII antibodies or consecutive to missense mutations in the F8 gene, may lead to hampered VWF binding and reduced FVIII residence time in circulation.

Abstract
The immunoglobulin molecule is a perfect template for the de novo generation of biocatalytic functions. Catalytic antibodies, or abzymes, obtained by the structural mimicking of enzyme active sites have been shown to catalyze numerous chemical reactions. Natural enzyme analogs for some of these reactions have not yet been found or possibly do not exist at all. Nowadays, the dramatic breakthrough in antibody engineering and expression technologies has promoted a considerable expansion of immunoglobulin's medical applications and is offering abzymes a unique chance to become a promising source of high-precision "catalytic vaccines." At the same time, the discovery of natural abzymes on the background of autoimmune disease revealed their beneficial and pathogenic roles in the disease progression. Thus, the conflicting Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde protective and destructive essences of catalytic antibodies should be carefully considered in the development of therapeutic abzyme applications.

Abstract
The versatility of antibodies is demonstrated by the various functions that they mediate such as neutralization, agglutination, fixation of the complement and its activation, and activation of effector cells. In addition to this plethora of functions, antibodies are capable of expressing enzymatic activity. Antibodies with catalytic function are a result of the productive interplay between the highly evolved machinery of the immune system and the chemical framework used to induce them (antigens). Catalytic antibodies are immunoglobulins with an ability to catalyze the reactions involving the antigen for which they are specific. Catalytic immunoglobulins of the IgM and IgG isotypes have been detected in the serum of healthy donors. In addition, catalytic immunoglobulins of the IgA isotype have been detected in the milk of healthy mothers. Conversely, antigen-specific hydrolytic antibodies have been reported in a number of inflammatory, autoimmune, and neoplastic disorders. The pathophysiological occurrence and relevance of catalytic antibodies remains a debated issue. Through the description of the hydrolysis of coagulation factor VIII as model target antigen, we propose that catalytic antibodies directed to the coagulation factor VIII may play a beneficial or a deleterious role depending on the immuno-inflammatory condition under which they occur.

Abstract
Patients with hemophilia A are deficient in coagulation Factor VIII. This bleeding disorder can be treated with Factor VIII replacement therapy, but close to a third of patients will be immunized to the treatment and begin to form inhibitory antibodies known as "inhibitors". These inhibitors will render the treatment ineffective and represent the most severe complication in the treatment of hemophilia A. In this review, we highlight factors involved in inhibitor development and emphasize research being done to modulate the immune response to this life-saving therapy.

Abstract
Antibodies with nucleophilic or catalytic properties often have these characteristics encoded in their germ line genes. Because hydrolytic activity has been reported to be associated with light chain V regions, we have begun an analysis of germ line light chain proteins that could be the basis for affinity maturation into hydrolytic or other reactive antibodies. We produced the germ line A18b light chain and characterized its hydrolytic, nucleophilic, and tertiary structural activities. This light chain was purified to >99% purity and found to hydrolyze aminomethylcoumarin-peptide and larger protein substrates and bind a fluorophosphonate probe. Mutation of putative catalytic residues only resulted in loss of activity of a tetrameric but not dimeric form of the light chain. These biochemical properties provide a framework for understanding the structure-function relationships of germ line antibodies.

Abstract
Inhibitor formation is a major complication of haemophilia treatment. In a prevalent case-control study, we evaluated blood product exposure, genotype and HLA type on haemophilia A inhibitor formation. Product exposure was extracted from medical records. Genotype was determined on stored DNA samples by detection of virtually all mutations-SSCP (DOVAM-S) and subcycling PCR. HLA typing was performed by PCR amplification and exonuclease-released fluorescence. Cases experienced higher intensity factor, 455 vs. 200 U per exposure, P < 0.005, more frequent central nervous system (CNS) bleeding, seven of 20 (35.0%) vs. one of 57 (1.7%), P = 0.001 and more commonly from inhibitor families, seven of 20 (35.0%) vs. zero of 57 (0%), P < 0.001, and African-American, 12 of 63 (19.0%) vs. six of 117 (5.1%), P = 0.015. Among the latter, CNS bleeding was more commonly the initial bleed, 60% vs. 0%, P < 0.001, and survival was shorter, 14 vs. 38 yr, P = 0.025. Inhibitor formation was uncommon in those with missense mutations, two of 65 (3.1%) vs. 31 of 119 (26.0%), P = 0.008, and unrelated to factor VIII immunogenic epitope, P = 0.388, or HLA type, P > 0.100. Genotype was not associated with race. Time to immune tolerance was shorter for titres <120 vs. > or = 120 BU/mL, six vs. 16 months, P < 0.01, but unaffected by tolerizing dose regimen, P > 0.50. Inhibitor formation is associated with high intensity product exposure, CNS bleeding, African-American race and low frequency of missense mutations. The ideal time to initiate prophylaxis to reduce CNS bleeding and inhibitor formation will require prospective studies.

Abstract
The immune response to factor VIII and the development of inhibitory antibodies is a complex multi-factorial process involving a variety of immune regulatory genes and cells, several of which have the potential to determine risk. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved will increase the likelihood of development of new therapeutic options for patients with hemophilia. This review summarizes genetic and non-genetic risk factors currently under evaluation, and the potential modulative effect of the von Willebrand factor on factor VIII immuno- and antigenicity. In addition, the role of T-regulatory cells in the pathogenicity of inhibitors will be discussed.

Abstract
Lysosomal storage diseases are characterized by deficiencies in lysosomal enzymes, allowing accumulation of target substrate in cells and eventually causing cell death. Enzyme replacement therapy is the principal treatment for most of these diseases. However, these therapies are often complicated by immune responses to the enzymes, blocking efficacy and causing severe adverse outcomes by neutralizing product activity. It is thus crucial to understand the relationships between genetic mutations, endogenous residual enzyme proteins (cross-reactive immunologic material), development of neutralizing antibodies and their impact on clinical outcomes of lysosomal storage diseases. For patients in whom neutralizing antibodies may cause severe adverse clinical outcomes, it is paramount to develop tolerance inducing protocols to preclude, where predictable, or treat such life-threatening responses.

Abstract
Procoagulant factor VIII (FVIII) is either produced endogenously under physiologic conditions, or administered exogenously as a therapeutic hemostatic drug in patients with hemophilia A. In the circulation, FVIII interacts with a multitude of glycoproteins, and may be used for coagulation at the sites of bleeding, eliminated by scavenger cells, or processed by the immune system, either as a self-constituent or as a foreign antigen. The fate of FVIII is dictated by the immune status of the individual, the location of FVIII in the body at a given time point, and the inflammatory microenvironment. It also depends on the local concentration of FVIII and of each interacting partner, and on the affinity of the respective interactions. FVIII, by virtue of its promiscuity, thus constitutes the core of a dynamic network that links the coagulation cascade, cells of the immune system, and, presumably, the inflammatory compartment. We describe the different interactions that FVIII is prone to establish during its life cycle, with a special focus on players of the innate and adaptive immune response. Lessons can be learned from understanding the dynamics of FVIII interactions--lessons that should pave the way to the conception of long-lasting hemostatic drugs devoid of iatrogenic immunogenicity.

Abstract
In patients with haemophilia A, factor VIII (FVIII) therapy leads to the development of anti-FVIII alloantibodies that inhibit FVIII pro-coagulant activity, in up to 25% of the cases. At a time when efficient viral screening procedures are at place, development of inhibitors poses the greatest threat to haemophilia A patients. Various risk factors, both patient and product-related, are responsible for the development of inhibitory antibodies. The role of FVIII-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes in the initiation of the humoral immune response to exogenous FVIII has been well. In view of their capacity to stimulate naïve T cells, dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation of the primary immune response. Thus, in the context of a primary alloimmunization against FVIII, i.e. when FVIII-specific B lymphocytes are not there to take up FVIII from the circulation and to serve as antigen presenting cells (APCs), DCs are the only cell type that internalize FVIII, leading to activation of FVIII-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes. von Willebrand factor (VWF) present in plasma-derived FVIII therapeutic concentrates, is known to act as a chaperone molecule for procoagulant FVIII. In addition to its role in reducing the 'antigenicity' of FVIII, the role of VWF in the reduction of the 'immunogenicity' of therapeutic FVIII in patients with haemophilia A has also been suggested. We have recently demonstrated that VWF protects FVIII from being endocytosed by human DCs and subsequently being presented to FVIII-specific T cells. We propose that VWF may reduce the immunogenicity of FVIII by preventing, upstream from the activation of immune effectors, the entry of FVIII in professional antigen presenting cells.

Abstract
The pathologic role of autoantibodies in autoimmune disease is widely accepted. Recently, we reported that anti-myelin basic protein (MBP) serum Abs from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients exhibit proteolytic activity toward the autoantigen. The aim of this study is to determine MBP epitopes specific for the autoantibodies in MS and compare these data with those from other neuronal disorders (OND), leading to the generation of new diagnostic and prognostic criteria. We constructed a MBP-derived recombinant "epitope library" covering the entire molecule. We used ELISA and PAGE/surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscopy assays to define the epitope binding/cleaving activities of autoantibodies isolated from the sera of 26 MS patients, 22 OND patients, and 11 healthy individuals. The levels of autoantibodies to MBP fragments 48-70 and 85-170 as well as to whole MBP and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein molecules were significantly higher in the sera of MS patients than in those of healthy donors. In contrast, selective reactivity to the two MBP fragments 43-68 and 146-170 distinguished the OND and MS patients. Patients with MS (77% of progressive and 85% of relapsing-remitting) but only 9% of patients with OND and no healthy donors were positive for catalysis, showing pronounced epitope specificity to the encephalitogenic MBP peptide 81-103. This peptide retained its substrate properties when flanked with two fluorescent proteins, providing a novel fluorescent resonance energy transfer approach for MS studies. Thus, anti-MBP autoantibody-mediated, epitope-specific binding and cleavage may be regarded as a specific characteristic of MS compared with OND and healthy donors and may serve as an additional biomarker of disease progression.

Abstract
Antibodies that are able to catalyze the antigen for which they are specific are produced spontaneously by the immune system. Catalytic immunoglobulins (Igs) both of the IgM and IgG isotypes have been detected in the serum of healthy donors, where they have been proposed to participate in the removal of metabolic waste and in the defense of the organism against invading pathogens. Conversely, antigen-specific hydrolytic IgG have been reported in a number of inflammatory, autoimmune and neoplastic disorders: their pathogenic effects have been demonstrated occasionally. The pathophysiological relevance of catalytic antibodies thus remains an elusive issue. Through the description of the pro-coagulation factor VIII as a model target antigen for catalytic antibodies, we propose that catalytic antibodies have either a beneficial or a deleterious role depending on the physiopathological context. Physiology thus relies on a delicate equilibrium between the levels of soluble target antigen and that of antigen-specific hydrolyzing immunoglobulins. Indeed, in patients with hemophilia A, in whom endogenous factor VIII is deficient or missing and exogenous factor VIII needs to be administered to treat hemorrhagic events, the development of factor VIII-hydrolyzing IgG that inactivate the therapeutically administered factor VIII, may reveal deleterious. In contrast, in a situation in which excess factor VIII may be detrimental and lead to excessive coagulation, disseminated thrombosis and organ ischemia, as seen in severe sepsis, our recent data suggest that the presence of factor VIII-hydrolyzing IgG may be beneficial to the patient.

Abstract
Antibody affinity is critically important in therapeutic applications, as well as steady state diagnostic assays. Picomolar affinity antibodies, approaching the association limit of protein-protein interactions, have been discovered for highly potent antigens, but even such high-affinity binders have off-rates sufficient to negate therapeutic efficacy. To cross this affinity threshold, antibodies that tether their targets in a manner other than reversible non-covalent interaction will be required. Here we report the design and construction of an antibody that forms an irreversible complex with a protein antigen in a metal-dependent reaction. The complex resists thermal and chemical denaturation, as well as attempts to remove the coordinating metal ion. Such irreversibly binding antibodies could facilitate the development of next generation "reactive antibody" therapeutics and diagnostics.

Abstract
Bleeding diatheses are frequent alterations during sepsis and surgical-anesthetic aggression. Generally, the bleeding is related with platelet dysfunction, inadequate surgical hemostasis, vitamin K deficit, etc. We present the case of a patient with no background of coagulopathy who, after two surgical interventions, developed abdominal sepsis and peritoneal hematoma after puncture for drainage of abdominal collection, due to an autoimmune origin factor VIII acquired deficit. The hematoma caused a picture of hypovolemic shock that required transfusion of several units of red blood cells, expansion and drug support. Finally, the bleeding was controlled by treatment with immunosuppressants, recombinant activated factor VII (RFVIIa) and polyvalent gammaglobulin. The peritoneal hematoma was drained surgically and the patient evolved towards improvement until being discharged from the intensive therapy unit.

Abstract
Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are anti-FVIII IgG that arise in up to 50% of the patients with hemophilia A, upon therapeutic administration of exogenous FVIII. Factor VIII inhibitors neutralize the activity of the administered FVIII by sterically hindering its interaction with molecules of the coagulation cascade, or by forming immune complexes with FVIII and accelerating its clearance from the circulation. We have shown previously that a subset of anti-factor VIII IgG hydrolyzes FVIII. FVIII-hydrolyzing IgG are detected in over 50% of inhibitor-positive patients with severe hemophilia A, and are not found in inhibitor-negative patients. Although human proficient catalytic Abs have been described in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, their pathological relevance remains elusive. We demonstrate here that the kinetics of FVIII degradation by FVIII-hydrolyzing IgG are compatible with a pathogenic role for IgG catalysts. We also report that FVIII-hydrolyzing IgG from each patient exhibit multiple cleavage sites on FVIII and that, while the specificity of cleavage varies from one patient to another, catalytic IgG preferentially hydrolyze peptide bonds containing basic amino acids.

Abstract
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) has several subsets based on target antigens recognized by their sera. MMP and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) sera recognize beta4 integrin subunit, oral pemphigoid sera recognize alpha6 integrin subunit, and anti-epiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid sera recognize laminin 5. Our aim is to determine if autoantibodies in the sera of patients with MMP, OCP, and oral pemphigoid (OP) recognize only their target antigens, and to see if this specificity is maintained throughout the clinical course. An immunoblot assay using bovine gingival lysate was used as substrate. Fifteen MMP patients, eight with OCP, and 15 OP patients were studied before therapy and at multiple intervals during the clinical course. Absorption and blocking studies were performed to determine binding specificity. Sera of patients with MMP and OCP recognize only beta4 integrin subunit, and sera of OP patients recognize alpha6 integrin throughout the clinical course. The sera of patients in the subsets of MMP described in this report show adherence and selectivity to target antigen during the entire clinical course, without crossover, interaction, or change. Hence, these subsets of MMP provide an excellent model to study clinical correlation with antigen and antibody specificity, in autoimmunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-glycosylation occurs in the variable region of about 10% of antibodies but the role of carbohydrate at this location is still poorly understood. OBJECTIVES We investigated the function of N-glycosylation in the variable region of the heavy chain of a human monoclonal antibody, mAb-LE2E9, that partially inhibits factor VIII (FVIII) activity during coagulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Enzymatic deglycosylation indicated that the oligosaccharides do not determine the affinity of the antibody but enhance its FVIII neutralizing activity. A mutant antibody lacking the N-glycosylation site in the variable region of the heavy chain inhibited FVIII activity by up to 40%, while inhibition by the native antibody was 80%. To evaluate the physiological effect of such a FVIII inhibition, we investigated the ability of the mutant antibody devoid of N-glycosylation in the variable region to prevent thrombosis in mice with a strong prothombotic phenotype resulting from a type II deficiency mutation in the heparin binding site of antithrombin. Despite its moderate inhibition of FVIII activity, the mutant antibody significantly prevented thrombosis in treated animals. We also carried out glycan analysis of native and mutant antibodies. CONCLUSIONS Modification of glycosylation in the variable region of antibodies contributes to the diversity of FVIII type II inhibition possibly by steric hindrance of the active site of FVIII by glycans, and may provide a novel strategy to modulate the functional activity of therapeutic antibodies.

Abstract
We have induced a polyclonal IgG that degrades the HIV-1 surface antigen, glycoprotein gp120, by taking advantage of the susceptibility of SJL mice to a peptide-induced autoimmune disorder, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Specific pathogen-free SJL mice were immunized with structural fragments of gp120, fused in-frame with encephalitogenic peptide MBP(85-101). It has resulted in a pronounced disease-associated immune response against antigens. A dramatic increase of gp120 degradation level by purified polyclonal IgG from immunized versus nonimmunized mice has been demonstrated by a newly developed fluorescence-based assay. This activity was inhibited by anti-mouse immunoglobulin antibodies as well as by Ser- and His-reactive covalent inhibitors. A dominant proteolysis site in recombinant gp120 incubated with purified polyclonal IgG from immunized mice was shown by SDS-PAGE. The SELDI-based mass spectrometry revealed that these antibodies exhibited significant specificity toward the Pro484-Leu485 peptide bond. The sequence surrounding this site is present in nearly half of the HIV-I variants. This novel strategy can be generalized for creating a catalytic vaccine against viral pathogens.

Abstract
Immunoglobulins have initially been illustrated as proteins produced by the immune system for binding and neutralizing foreign molecules potentially harmful to the organism. The number of V(H), D(H), J(H), V(L) and J(L) genes that encode the variable regions of immunoglobulins and the junctional diversity that occurs at the time of somatic rearrangement determine the extent of the repertoire of antibodies that may be potentially produced by an organism. This potential repertoire includes antibodies the antigen binding site of which may recognize external as well as autologous antigens, or may structurally resemble the active site of enzymes and be endowed with enzymatic activity. Under physiological conditions, B cell clones that produce antibodies naturally endowed with catalytic activity are negatively regulated and subjected to apoptosis. Catalytic antibodies are expressed only following active immunization, or if the physiological regulatory mechanisms that control the expression of catalytic antibody-producing B cell clones are perturbed, e.g. in the context of pregnancy or in the course of autoimmune diseases.
