title: [Dissociation of human factor VIII and recombination of the fragments VIII-C and VIII-AG].
abstract: Human factor VIII has been dissociated into fragment VIII-C and fragment VIII-AG in the presence of calcium chloride (0.25 M). After removing the calcium, recombination of the molecule is obtained. Fragment VIII-C can be activated by thrombin in a similar manner to the coagulant activity of whole factor VIII. This activation is calcium-dependent. In rabbits immunized against purified F VIII, VIII-C and VIII-AG specific antisera against these three entities were obtained.
