  Human factor VIII-related protein precipitates with specific heterologous anti-bodies directed against purified factor VIII and supports ristocetin-induced aggregation of washed platelets. We purified human factor VIII from cryoprecipitate by subsequent gel filtration on crosslinked large-pore agarose. Factor VIII-related protein appeared as a large aggregate following electrophoresis on 3% polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The same material was separated into multiple bands (molecular weight in excess of several millions) following electrophoresis on SDS-1% agarose gels. After complete disulfide reduction of factor VIII-related protein and electrophoresis on SDS-5% polyacrylamide gels a single subunit chain (Mr approximately equal to 200 000) was revealed. Analysis of this protein, in its non-reduced state, by negative contrast electron microscopy showed filaments of markedly variable size. The calculated molecular weight of such filaments ranged from about 0.6.10(6) to 20.10(6). We conclude that size heterogeneity is an essential feature of human factor VIII-related protein.
