Abstract
Tissue activator-mediated plasminogen activation is potentiated both by fibrin and by some soluble fibrin(ogen) fragments. The potentiating effect of the different fragments decreases in the order fibrin monomer greater than D-dimer greater than Y greater than D EGTA greater than Dcate greater than X. Fibrinogen and the fragments Ecate, E EGTA and E fibrin have almost no effect. The existence of a fibrin polymer is apparently not a prerequisite for this potentiating effect. The plasminogen activation by various urokinase preparations is not potentiated by fibrin and fibrin(ogen) fragments.Entities:
