In 1976 a delegation from The Upjohn Company contacted one of
us (H.J.D.) and proposed the idea for a workshop on animal and
human models in thrombosis research. The reasons for choosing
this subject were the rapid proliferation of animal and human
models, the growing demand for interpretation of the data gener-
ated by numerous studies, and the increasing emphasis on the
platelet-vessel wall interaction. It was agreed that a critical
review of this field was needed. The Upjohn Company, which is
involved in designing therapies for intervention in thrombosis,
felt it worthwhile to sponsor the Workshop to gather and share
with others working in this field as much information as possible
on the suitability of different animal and human models.
