[Studies on the Dutch rabbit for pyrogen test].

    Summary

    Dutch rabbits are a cost-effective and responsive alternative for pyrogen testing. They show greater febrile responses to bacterial pyrogen (lipopolysaccharide) and are less prone to injury during restraint.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology and Toxicology
    • Animal Models in Research

    Context:

    • The Japanese white rabbit is the conventional model for pyrogen testing in Japan.
    • Pyrogen testing is crucial for ensuring the safety of pharmaceutical products.
    • Previous models have limitations, including physical injury and variable responses.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the Dutch rabbit as a potential alternative model for pyrogen testing.
    • To compare the pyrogenic responsiveness and practical handling of Dutch rabbits versus Japanese white rabbits.

    Summary:

    • Adult Dutch rabbits, despite being smaller and consuming less food, demonstrated superior febrile responses to bacterial pyrogen (lipopolysaccharide) compared to younger Dutch rabbits and adult Japanese white rabbits.
    • Dutch rabbits showed a stable body temperature during restraint (from 14 weeks old) and a reduced incidence of hip joint dislocation, a common issue in Japanese white rabbits.
    • A strong linear regression between lipopolysaccharide dose and febrile response was observed in adult Dutch rabbits, similar to adult Japanese white rabbits.

    Impact:

    • The Dutch rabbit presents a viable alternative for pyrogen testing, offering enhanced febrile responsiveness.
    • This model may reduce rearing costs and improve animal welfare due to decreased physical injury.
    • Findings support the adoption of Dutch rabbits for more efficient and potentially more reliable pyrogen testing in pharmaceutical quality control.
