Immunological and toxicological studies on drugs and blood coagulation factors

Cox, Dermot (1988) Immunological and toxicological studies on drugs and blood coagulation factors. PhD thesis, Dublin City University.

Abstract
1) Monoclonal antibodies directed against both Factor FVIII procoagulant protein (FVIII C) and fibrinogen were produced and characterised. 2) Polyclonal antisera directed against a BSA-diazepam conjugate was produced These were found to be directed against the conjugate rather than diazepam. 3) IB vitro studies on the effects of both coumarin and 7 -hydroxycoumarin on the growth of cells indicated that neither drug was cytotoxic, but they both slowed the growth of cells in vitro 7-hydroxycoumarm was found to have more potent cytostatic effects than coumarin. 4) The results from a clinical study on the effects of coumarin on liver function indicated that 0 36% of patients experienced an idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity to coumarin.
