This $395,314 Project Grant award was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The grant supports research to define the key innate immune cell components and signaling mechanisms that mediate the development of inhibitory antibodies against factor VIII, a critical treatment for hemophilia A. The central hypothesis is that conventional dendritic cells, specifically type 2 conventional dendritic cells (cDC2), play a central role in activating CD4+ T cells and inducing B cell production of anti-factor VIII antibodies in a pro-inflammatory cytokine environment. The research aims to elucidate this cDC2-driven immune response and explore innate immune profiles across hemophilia A patients with and without inhibitors. This work seeks to advance the understanding of factor VIII immunity and inform new therapeutic strategies to prevent inhibitor development and induce peripheral tolerance.
