This document is a letter to the editor discussing a French field study on the cross-reactivity of human anti-FVIII antibodies to porcine rFVIII. The study aimed to validate the modified Nijmegen method used in French laboratories for the titration of anti-porcine FVIII inhibitors. The study compared the stability of rpFVIII in different dilution media and assessed the cross-reactivity of plasma samples from patients with AHA and congenital hemophilia A with inhibitors. The results showed a decrease in rpFVIII activity after incubation, but no statistical difference between dilution media. The study provides valuable information for the laboratory assessment of rpFVIII in the treatment of AHA. Another study discussed in the letter found that cross-reactivity with rpFVIII was detected in 26% of AHA samples and 75% of PWA samples, but high cross-reactivity above 20 BU/mL was rare and not observed in the AHA population. The study confirmed the feasibility of using imidazole buffer to detect anti-rpFVIII antibodies. [Extracted from the article]
