Abstract
Summary1. A lengthening of saline-re-calcification time beyond normal occurred in plasma deficient in any one of the following: platelets, AHF, PTC, PTA, Hageman factor, proaccelerin, or proconvertin. It also occurred in certain acquired multiple factor deficiencies, and in heparinized plasma. 2. Brain thromboplastin recalcification times were normal in platelet, AHF, PTC, PTA and Hageman factor deficiencies, but prolonged in proconvertin or proaccelerin deficiency or heparinized plasma. 3. Plasma thromboplastin recalcification times were normal in these same deficiencies and, in addition, in proconvertin or proaccelerin deficiency. This latter activity seemed due to incorporation of (pro) convertin and (pro) accelerin into the plasma thromboplastin complex, rather than to any free proconvertin and proaccelerin in solution. 4. Formed plasma thromboplastin is inactive in absence of optimal calcium concentration.
