FeCl3-induced Thrombosis Models

FeCl3 ‑ induced thrombosis model is a widely used, highly reproducible preclinical assay for acute arterial or venous thrombus formation. This model enables precise spatiotemporal control of injury severity, quantitative endpoint measurements (e.g., time to occlusion, thrombus weight, and histomorphometry), and is amenable to both murine and larger animal species.

Key Application Areas

  • Combination Therapy Optimization
    Synergistic or antagonistic interactions between antiplatelets, anticoagulants, and anti‑inflammatory agents
  • Device‑related Thrombosis
    Evaluation of drug‑eluting stents, coated vascular grafts, and catheter materials in a hypercoagulable milieu
  • Genetic or Pharmacological Modulation of Coagulation Factors
    Knockdown/overexpression of FVIII, FIX, or tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
  • Translational Biomarker Discovery
  • Correlation of plasma thrombin‑antithrombin (TAT) complexes, D‑dimer, and platelet‑derived microparticles with thrombus burden and treatment response
