Detection of human fetal fibrinogen in umbilical cord plasma by parallel assays of immunoreactive and thrombin-clottable protein. 1983

R D Barr, and M M Storbeck, and M A Johnston, and P Horsewood, and J Gauldie

Putative fetal fibrinogen was detected in normal human umbilical cord plasma by parallel assays of immunoreactive and thrombin-clottable protein. The 'excess' of immunoassayable fibrinogen was not due to products of proteolysis and the apparent 'insensitivity' to thrombin was reflected in delayed fibrin polymerization. Fetal fibrinogen was partially separable from the adult protein by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.

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.
