Antibody-induced (anti-FVIII) hemophilia A rabbit cuticle bleeding model: dose-dependent reduction in blood loss
“In vivo proof-of-concept studies were conducted in a cuticle bleeding model in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits where hemophilia A-like conditions were simulated by administration of a neutralizing FVIII antibody.”
No cross-reactivity with rodents; rabbit TFPI binding similar to human, so rabbit chosen for hemophilia models
“Based on the pharmacology data and the lack of cross reactivity to rodent species, the rabbit was selected as the nonclinical efficacy species (hemophilia animal models).”
