Preparation and evaluation of an antiserum to the carboxymethylated Aalpha chain of human fibrinogen. 1978

J A Conkie, and J F Davidson

Antiserum to the carboxymethylated Aalpha chain of human fibrinogen has been produced in rabbits and its reactions investigated in a double diffusion system. The antiserum reacts with the carboxymethylated Aalpha chains, but not with carboxymethylated gamma chains, nor with carboxymethylated Bbeta chains, provided that the antiserum had been absorbed with carboxymethylated Bbeta chains. The antiserum also reacts with Aalpha chains in the whole fibrinogen molecule, either in plasma or in the purified form, and spur formation was observed when intact fibrinogen was compared with high solubility fibrinogen, which contained little or no intact Aalpha chain.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
