Essentials Anti‐factor (F) VIII antibody formation is a major complication in the treatment of hemophilia A. We investigated uptake of FVIII and FVIII immune complex by bone marrow derived dendritic cells. Immune complex formation increased uptake of FVIII 3‐4 fold in a Fcγ receptor dependent manner. FVIII immune complex binding to Fcγ receptors may modulate immune tolerance induction.
