Abstract
Human platelet fibrinogen has been shown to be indistinguishable from plasma fibrinogen by a variety of criteria, including subunit composition and cross-linking characteristics as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electro phoresis, quantitative amino terminal analysis of fibrin, and the amino acid compositions of fibrinopeptides released from platelet and plasma fibrinogens is products of the same gene or genes.Keywords
