Inhibitor patient groups are as follows: HA, hemophilia A; AA, autoantibody; HA PUP, previously untreated hemophiliacs infused only with rfVIII. All numbers are percentages of the total plasmas tested: 23 for HA, 21 for AA, 11 for HA PUP. Section A: The % plasmas that contained a minimum of 1, 2, or 3 different inhibitor antibodies. Section B: The % plasmas containing antibodies with these specificities. Section C: The % plasmas with antibodies recognizing the combinations of epitope regions listed. The % inhibitors with specificity for 3 polypeptides occurred as A2 + C2 + AR3-A3-C1 only (section A) and is not included here.
