Abstract

Pigs provide a sensitive and quantitative animal model of non-IgE-mediated(pseudoallergic) hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) caused by liposomes and many other nanoparticulate drugs or drug-carrier nanosystems (nanomedicines). The rapidly arising symptoms, including cardiopulmonary, hemodynamic, hematological, blood chemistry and skin changes, resemble the clinical picture in man undergoing infusion reactions toreactogenic nanoparticles. In addition to summarizing the basic features of the pig CARPA model, thereviewconsiderssome of the advantages and disadvantages of using the modelforpreclinical evaluation of nanomedicine safety.
