Abstract
An in vivo assay for determining the potential thrombogenic activity of a test compound entails pre-treating an animal with both a hepatoxin and either a bacterial agent (whole bacteria or bacterial toxins, including endotoxins) or a bacterial agent-induced cytokine, which pre-treatment enhances sensitivity to thrombogenic substances. The sensitized animal can be used in identifying a thrombogenic substance even when it is a weak potentiator of thrombogenesis, and in detecting smaller amounts of a strong potentiator.
