Development of Biopharmaceutical based on the Cloning Technology ( Factor VIII Hemophilia)
What Is Antihemophilic Factor? Antihemophilic factor is a naturally occurring protein in the blood that helps blood to clot. A lack of antihemophilic factor VIII is the cause of hemophilia A. Human antihemophilic factor works by temporarily raising levels of factor VIII in the blood to aid in clotting.

2 . Replacement therapy Fresh whole blood Whole plasma Fresh Frozen Plasma Cryoprecipitate Factor VIII or IX Concentrate Recombinant Factor VII (Novo-Seven): to bypass factor VIII in the coagulation pathway
A biopharmaceutical is any pharmaceutical drug product manufactured in, extracted from, or semi-synthesized from biological sources. They include vaccines, blood components, gene therapies, recombinant therapeutic protein etc. FVIII is a glycoprotein procofactor. In the blood, it mainly circulates in a stable non-covalent complex with von Willebrand factor. It is activated by thrombin (factor IIa)
The availability of recombinant coagulation factors has been a major advance in the area of hemophilia, providing the promise of improved safety, ease of use, and reducing the risk of infections transmitted by transfusion. Hemophilia is caused by the failure to produce certain proteins required for blood clotting: factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B ). Because the genes encoding these factors are on the X chromosome, these diseases (termed "X-linked") usually affect only men, who carry only one X chromosome. Women carrying the disease gene are "carriers" and can transmit the disease, mainly to their sons.
Recombinant factor VIII is a glycoprotein which is produced by recombinant DNA technology. It is used for people who have developed antibodies against replacement coagulation factor. The gene for factor VIII is located on the X chromosome (Xq28). . This biomedicine is produced in baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) and has similar characteristics and functions with the native blood factor VIII.
Clotting Factor VIII Production Obtaining the molecular clone of a gene can lead to the development of organisms that produce the protein product of the cloned genes, termed a recombinant protein. BHK-21 cells are transfected by human adenovirus D, containing the F8 gene. The cells are then cultured in fetal bovine serum 5% in large steel tanks. Recombinant Clotting Factor VIII (Antihemophilic Factor) is then obtained by purification of culture.
