Summary

Purified fibrinogen degradation products Y, D or E were not found to exert antiplasmin activity as measured by the clot lysis time.

Spontaneous inactivation of plasmin was observed during incubation at 37° C. This inactivation was partly prevented by the presence of fibrinogen degradation products, as well as by other proteins.
