Abstract
There is no shortage of animal plasma and, in several species, plasma factor VIII levels are higher than they are in man — in the case of pigs, about five times higher (1). These advantages were recognised by Dr. Ethel Bidwell and her colleagues, who prepared the first animal factor VIII concentrates for intravenous human therapeutic use in the early 1950’s (2).
