Abstract:SummaryPlasmin was immobilized on collageno-elastic tubes (CET) using carbodiimide as the cross-linking agent. The effects of plasmin-CET grafts and corresponding soluble plasmin on fibrinogen, thrombin-mediated fibrinogen activation, and platelet activity, were investigatedThere was a significant increase in fibrinogen deposition on plasmin-CETs over non-plasmin (i.e. control) CETs. Furthermore, exposure of fibrinogen to plasmin CETs enhances its deposition to control grafts situated downstream. Plasmin-bound… Show more
