The invention relates to an isolated monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the D4 domain of VWF, competes for binding to VWF D4 domain with ADAMTS13 and partially inhibits ADAMTS 13-mediated degradation of VWF. More particularly, the invention relates to an isolated monoclonal antibody comprising a heavy chain wherein the variable domain comprises at least one CDR having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3 for H-CDR1, SEQ ID NO: 4 for H-CDR2 and SEQ ID NO: 5 for H-CDR3 and a light chain wherein the variable domain comprises at least one CDR having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 7 for L-CDR1, SEQ ID NO: 8 for L-CDR2 and SEQ ID NO: 9 for L-CDR3. Antibodies of the invention are presented to be useful in for the prevention or the treatment of bleeding episodes, such as bleeding episodes occurring in patients with aortic stenosis or patients with ventricular assist devices (VAD).

Disclosed herein are a synthetic peptide mimetic and compositions comprising the synthetic peptide mimetic that induce activation of and signaling through PAR4. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating a bleeding disorder comprising administering the synthetic peptide.

Improved anti-CD154 antibodies are provided herein which have improved therapeutic potency, in vivo half-life and ablated FcR binding and/or complement binding/activation. The use of these antibodies for inducing tolerance and treating immune diseases including autoimmunity, inflammation, transplant recipients, fibrosis and allergic disorders is disclosed herein.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for insertion of transgene sequences encoding proteins involved in clotting into the genome of a cell for treating conditions including hemophilias.

The invention provides improved compositions for adoptive T cell therapies for B cell related conditions.

The invention relates to antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind TFPI and inhibit an activity thereof. Such antibodies and fragments are useful for treating bleeding disorders and shortening clotting time.

Disclosed herein are novel variants of clotting factors VII, VIII, and IX and their use, for example, in methods of treating a subject with a clotting disorder, such as hemophilia A or hemophilia B.
