The present invention provides a human antibody against blood coagulation
factor VIII (hereinafter also referred to as "FVIII") and an antibody
fragment that binds to human FVIII and specifically inhibits the
coagulation activity of human FVIII. ScFv display phage libraries,
prepared by using scFv DNAs constructed by random combinations of
immunoglobulin VH chain genes and VL chain genes from lymphocytes from
hemophilia A patients, is reacted with FVIII immobilized to a solid phase
via anti-FVIII monoclonal antibody, and scFv clones capable of binding to
FVIII are cloned to reveal VH and VL chains of FVIII-specific antibody.
