Why do scientists use pigs blood to make photofrin?

Scientists use pig's blood to make Photofrin, a photosensitizing agent used in photodynamic therapy, because it contains a high concentration of the compound called porphyrin which is the active ingredient in Photofrin. Porphyrin is essential for the therapeutic effect of Photofrin as it produces reactive oxygen species when exposed to light, which selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Pigs have been found to have a higher yield of porphyrin in their blood compared to other animals, making it the preferred source for Photofrin production.
