Hemostasis is the normal process that produces a blood clot at a site of vascular injury. Mice are widely used to study hemostasis and abnormalities of blood coagulation because their hemostatic system is similar in most respects to that of humans, and their genomes can be easily manipulated to create models of inherited human coagulation disorders. Two of the most widely used techniques for assessing hemostasis in mice are the tail bleeding time (TBT) and saphenous vein bleeding (SVB) models. Here we discuss the use of these methods in the evaluation of hemostasis, and the advantages and limits of using mice as surrogates for studying hemostasis in humans.
止血是一种正常的生理过程,它会在血管损伤部位形成血栓。小鼠被广泛用于研究止血和血液凝固异常,因为它们的止血系统在大多数方面与人类相似,并且它们的基因组很容易被操纵,以创建遗传性人类凝血障碍的模型。评估小鼠止血功能最常用的两种技术是尾部出血时间(TBT)和隐静脉出血(SVB)模型。本文讨论了这些方法在止血评估中的应用,以及将小鼠作为研究人类止血的替代物的优点和局限性。
