Abstract
Plasma samples from asphyctic newborns as well as maternal plasma samples during delivery contain soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) as evidenced by the elution of FR-antigen material in a shoulder prior to the fibrinogen peak after agarose gel filtration. PAA gel electrophoresis of fractions from the shoulder revealed a component with the relative electrophoretic mobility of 0.28 × 10 −5 cm 2/V × sec (fibrinogen 0.43 × 10 −5 cm 2/V × sec). This component consisted of FR-antigen material only and no other plasma proteins were associated to it. Elution behaviour, migration pattern and immunological properties of the 0.28 derivative are in agreement with the assumption of a dimeric structure, which may occur either as a fibrinogen fibrin monomer complex or as a covalently linked dimer.
