Human factor VIII has been isolated from a high purity factor VIII concentrate by immunoaffinity chromatography and HPLC on Mono Q gel. Two fractions of factor VIII were obtained with a specific activity of approximately equal to 7000 units/mg. The major fraction contained eight peptide chains of 200, 180, 160, 150, 135, 130, 115, and 105 kDa plus one doublet chain of 80 kDa. The minor fraction contained one peptide chain of 90 kDa plus the chain of 80 kDa. Both fractions were activated by thrombin to the same extent. Amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis was performed on the 180-kDa, 130-kDa, and 90-kDa chains and showed an identical amino-terminal sequence in these chains. Each chain from 200 kDa to 90 kDa was linked to one 80-kDa chain by a metal-ion bridge(s). Studies on factor VIII in plasma and cryoprecipitate, prepared and gel filtered in the presence of protease inhibitors, showed that one 200-kDa plus one 80-kDa chain were the only or dominating chains in the materials and may represent native factor VIII. The results indicated that all chains from 180 kDa to 90 kDa are fragments of the 200-kDa chain. All of these more or less fragmented chains form active factor VIII complexes with the 80-kDa chain.
