摘要: Factor XIII is responsible for the cross-linking of fibrin γ-chains in early stages clot formation, whilst α-chain occurs at a slower rate. Although γ- and was previously shown to contribute stiffness, role both chains determining structure currently unknown. Therefore, aim this study determine individual α- γ-chain during its effects on structure. We made use recombinant fibrinogen (γQ398N/Q399N/K406R), which does not allow cross-linking. In absence cross-linking, intact D-D interface play potential fibre appearance time, stiffness elasticity. Cross-linking played thickening fibres over decreased lysis rate α2-antiplasmin. also showed that timing appearance, straightening fibres, increasing reducing deformation. time density. Our results show independent specific roles formation
