Porcine Plasma

Details

Porcine models are used in translational research and as surgical models. They are increasingly being used as the primary nonrodent species in preclinical toxicologic testing of pharmaceuticals. Minipig strains were developed to provide a more manageable version of the domestic pig. There are various strains available, each with its own characteristics.

Plasma is a clear, yellow liquid which comprised approximately 55% of the total volume of blood. The components of plasma and serum are similar as both contain hormones, glucose, electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, nutrients and certain other particles except clotting factors which are present only in plasma. Plasma is a major source of biomarkers.
