Abstract
Normal platelets were not seen to initiate fibrin formation in normal plasma enclosed in silicone-coated surfaces. The platelets did serve as foci of formation of the fibrin network. Part but not all of a complex of factors which favor rapid conversion of prothrombin to thrombin is concentrated in or on the platelet.Keywords
