Apolipoprotein B (apo B), fibrinogen/fibrin, blood platelets, factor VIII-related antigen of the blood coagulation system, and smooth muscle cells (SMC) were identified in the intima of normal and atherosclerotic human aorta and large arteries by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Fibrinogen/fibrin was revealed by a monoclonal antibody (monAb) against the C-terminal region of human fibrinogen A alpha-chain. Fibronectin was visualized by monAb to the cellular form and against an epitope shared by different fibronectin subunit variants. In normal intima, fatty streaks, small amounts of fibrinogen/fibrin together with large amounts of apo B were observed. Fibronectin detected by two types of monAb was not found in extracellular matrix (ECM), whereas cellular fibronectin encircled SMC. According to the data obtained, fibrinogen/fibrin accumulates in plaques as a result of intramural thrombus incorporation, blood insudation, intramural haemorrhage, and in or around cells, apparently macrophages.

D005260 Female Females
D005337 Fibrin A protein derived from FIBRINOGEN in the presence of THROMBIN, which forms part of the blood clot. Antithrombin I
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. Coagulation Factor I,Factor I,Blood Coagulation Factor I,gamma-Fibrinogen,Factor I, Coagulation,gamma Fibrinogen
D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
