Several therapeutic self-proteins elicit immune responses when administered to patients. Such adverse immune responses reduce drug efficacy. To induce an immune response, a protein must interact with different immune cells, including antigen-presenting cells, T cells, and B cells. Each cell type recognizes distinct immunogenic patterns on antigens. Mannose-terminating glycans have been identified as pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are essential for internalization of microbes by antigen-presenting cells, leading to presentation. Here, we have investigated the importance of exposed mannosylation on an immunogenic therapeutic self-protein, procoagulant human factor VIII (FVIII). Administration of therapeutic FVIII to hemophilia A patients induces inhibitory anti-FVIII antibodies in up to 30% of the cases. We demonstrate that entry of FVIII into human dendritic cells (DC) leading to T cell activation, is mediated by mannose-terminating glycans on FVIII. Further, we identified macrophage mannose receptor (CD206) as a candidate endocytic receptor for FVIII on DC. Saturation of mannose receptors on DC with mannan, and enzymatic removal of mannosylated glycans from FVIII lead to reduced T cell activation. The interaction between FVIII and CD206 was blocked by VWF, suggesting that, under physiological conditions, the intrinsic mannose-dependent immunogenicity of FVIII is quenched by endogenous immunochaperones. These data provide a link between the mannosylation of therapeutic self-proteins and their iatrogenic immunogenicity. Such a link would be of special relevance in the context of replacement therapy where mechanisms of central and peripheral tolerance have not been established during ontogeny because of the absence of the antigen.
