Abstract:
A pig which was being immunised with thrombocytes from another pig developed thrombocytopenia and purpura. This appears to be analogous to the post-transfusion purpura syndrome which has been reported in humans and it is suggested that similar systems in pigs could be useful models for experimental studies on the human condition.
