[Plasminogen content of human fibrinogen preparations from different sources (author's transl)]. 1977

H Auel, and M Martin

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.

D010958 Plasminogen Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated as a thrombolytic agent.

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.
