Abstract excerpt
A congenitally abnormal fibrinogen (Vlissingen) was isolated from the blood of a young woman suffering from massive pulmonary embolism. Fibrinogen Vlissingen showed an abnormal clotting time with both thrombin and Reptilase. The release of the fibrino-peptides A and B by thrombin was normal, but fibrin polymerization was impaired both in the presence and absence of Ca2+ ions. On sodium dodecyl...
