Table 2 Comparison of sampling techniques for different coagulation parameters: Vena cava puncture (VCP) vs heart puncture (HP) as measured by Soluble Fibrin in plasma of untreated negative control mice
From: Systemic coagulation parameters in mice after treatment with vascular targeting agents
| Â | Number of mice negative | Number of mice with borderline result | Number of mice positive | Number of mice analyzed | Number of positive results in negative control mice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
sampling technique: | n | n | n | n | % |
VCP 1:5 | 17 | 1 | 0 | 18 | 0 % |
VCP 1:10 | 10 | 2 | 5 | 17 | 29% |
HP 1:5 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 100% |
HP 1:10 | 3 | 0 | 10 | 13 | 77% |
