This disclosure relates to recombinant or chimeric FVIII proteins, variants, and vectors encoding the proteins containing one or more ancestral mutations. In certain embodiments, one or more protein domains comprise amino acid sequences that are derived from ancestrally reconstructed amino acid sequences. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the proteins or vectors and related methods of inducing blood clotting.

The present disclosure provides methods of administering chimeric and hybrid Factor VIII (FVIII) polypeptides comprising FVIII and Fc to subjects at risk of developing inhibitory FVIII immune responses, including anti-FVIII antibodies and/or cell-mediated immunity. The administration is sufficient to promote coagulation and to induce immune tolerance to FVIII. The chimeric polypeptide can comprise full-length FVIII or a FVIII polypeptide containing a deletion, e.g., a full or partial deletion of the B domain.

The present disclosure provides, among other aspects, codon-altered polynucleotides encoding Factor VIII variants for expression in mammalian cells. In some embodiments, the disclosure also provides mammalian gene therapy vectors and methods for treating hemophilia A. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for dosing a hemophilia A patient with a polynucleotide, e.g., a codon-altered polynucleotide, encoding a Factor VIII polypeptide.

The invention relates to isolated single-domain antibodies (sdAb) directed against von Willebrand Factor (VWF) D′D3 domain and chimeric polypeptides comprising thereof such as blood clotting factors and their uses in therapy such as in the prevention and treatment of hemostatic disorders. The invention also relates to a method of extending or increasing half-life of a therapeutic polypeptide comprising a step of adding to the polypeptide sequence of said therapeutic polypeptide at least one sdAb directed against VWF D′D3 domain.
