Site-directed modification of FVIII

This invention relates to Factor VIII muteins that are covalently bound, at a predefined site that is not an N-terminal amine, to one or more biocompatible polymers such as polyethylene glycol. The mutein conjugates retain FVIII procoagulant activity and have improved pharmacokinetic properties.
