Abstract:
In connection with fibrinolytic therapy, it is of interest to know how much plasminogen is contained in different commercially available figrinogen preparations. This problem was investigated with the aid of a semiquantitative determination of plasminogen. The determined plasminogen content was compared with plasminogen concentration of pooled human plasma. Using the ratio of plasminogen to fibrinogen, and fixing the plasminogen content of human plasma arbitrarily at 100%, the proportion of plasminogen in fibrinogen from Immuno is 134%, fibrinogen from Behringwerke contains 13.7%, and Kabi-fibrinogen contains 2.71% plasminogen.
