A large proportion of hemophilia A patients who receive replacement therapy, develop an immune response toward the infused factor VIII (FVIII). In this review, we discuss recent progress in several aspects of the anti-FVIII immune response, focusing on the sites of FVIII endocytosis (marginal zone of the spleen and bleeding site), the type of antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells) and endocytic receptors, implicated in FVIII presentation to T cells during primary and secondary immune response. Although it is becoming increasingly clear that regulatory T cells are involved in FVIII tolerance in healthy subjects and potentially in patients without inhibitors, we would like to demonstrate that little is known about the different T cells subsets and the cytokines network, which are also crucial for the development of allo- and autoimmune diseases. As more information on these issues becomes available, a better understanding of the role of each immune cells compartment in promoting FVIII tolerance or inhibitors development might lead to new strategies to promote FVIII tolerance in hemophilia A patients.
