Properties of the factor VIII after DDAVP (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) infusion in normal subjects. 1980

H Takahashi, and M Itoh, and I Kobayashi, and N Sakuragawa, and A Shibata

The factor VIII response to DDAVP (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) was examined in 6 healthy volunteers. Following intravenous DDAVP infusion, each subject showed a marked increase in factor VIII procoagulant activity (VIII:C), factor VIII related antigen (VIIIR:AG) and von Willebrand factor activity (VIIIR:WF). But there were differences among augmentation index of each activity. Further investigations were performed whether there was a qualitative abnormality in the factor VIII after DDAVP infusion. Between factor VIII activities before and after DDAVP, there was no difference in a thermostability of VIII:C in vitro, gel chromatographic pattern on Sepharose 2B or 4B, a precipitation with concanavalin A (Con A) and a recovery in cryoprecipitate. The increase of VIIIR:AG, however, was mostly brought about by the augmentation of relatively slowly migrating portion as demonstrated by crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). From these results it was assumed that there was no remarkable abnormalities in the factor VIII after DDAVP administration, and the elevated factor VIII could function efficiently in vivo. The findings in cryoprecipitation showed that DDAVP could be applied to blood donation for the preparation of cryoprecipitate.

D007263	Infusions, Parenteral	The administration of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through some other route than the alimentary canal, usually over minutes or hours, either by gravity flow or often by infusion pumping.

D010974	Platelet Aggregation	The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS.	Aggregation, Platelet
D003208	Concanavalin A	A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.
D003894	Deamino Arginine Vasopressin	A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

D005169	Factor VIII	Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.

D001127	Arginine Vasopressin	The predominant form of mammalian antidiuretic hormone. It is a nonapeptide containing an ARGININE at residue 8 and two disulfide-linked cysteines at residues of 1 and 6. Arg-vasopressin is used to treat DIABETES INSIPIDUS or to improve vasomotor tone and BLOOD PRESSURE.	Argipressin,Vasopressin, Arginine,Arg-Vasopressin,Argipressin Tannate,Arg Vasopressin
D014841	von Willebrand Factor	A high-molecular-weight plasma protein, produced by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. The von Willebrand factor has receptors for collagen, platelets, and ristocetin activity as well as the immunologically distinct antigenic determinants. It functions in adhesion of platelets to collagen and hemostatic plug formation. The prolonged bleeding time in VON WILLEBRAND DISEASES is due to the deficiency of this factor.
