The half-life of plasmic degradation products of human fibrinogen in rabbits. 1977

N Ardaillou, and L Dray, and A Z Budzynski, and V J Marder, and M J Larrieu

Human fibrinogen and purified plasmic degradation fragments X (stages 1 and 2), D and E were labelled with 125-I using the lactoperoxidase method. The chromatographic, electrophoretic and immunologic properties of the labelled proteins were found to be similar to those of non-labelled fragments. All the degradation products diffused rapidly (T 1/2 0.27-0.75 hours) from the intravascular space of rabbits, as compared with fibrinogen (4.26 hours). In addition, the metabolic half-life was found to be 49.3 hours for fibrinogen, as compared with only 5.6, 6.1, 2.3 and 1.4 for fragments X (stage 1), X (stage 2), D and E, respectively. The metabolic half-life roughly reflects the molecular size of the degradation products.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005338 Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

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.

D006207 Half-Life The time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiologic activity. Halflife,Half Life,Half-Lifes,Halflifes

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
