Stable Complex of Fibrinogen and Fibrin

Abstract
Fibrin-stabilizing factor acts on monomeric fibrin combined with fibrinogen to form a stable complex that is soluble at physiologic p H and ionic strength. The complex has been isolated by chromatography on agarose gel and characterized by sedimentation rate near 24 S w.20 at both p H 5.3 and 7.4, by coagulability when treated with thrombin, and by content of fibrinopeptides. Formation of the complex could provide a pathway for solubilization of monomeric fibrin produced in circulating blood.
