Fibrinogen (Coagulation Factor I) (AP)

Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, which is then cross-linked by factor XIII to form a blood clot. Also recognises fibrin degradation products (FDPs), substances that are left behind after a blood clot dissolves. This process, called fibrinolysis, is produced by the action of enzymes such as plasmin on fibrin. One FDP is D-dimer, levels of which can be used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. fibrinolytic system is also closely linked to the control of inflammation. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal...
