Abstract
ALLINGTON1 described a method in which a fibrin gel is ultimately formed by dilution of a urea solution of fibrin monomer. Some investigators may prefer to have the original gel structure formed consequent to the action of thrombin on fibrinogen, so it should be noted that a simple charcoal adsorption procedure is highly effective in the removal of plasminogen from a variety of human and animal fibrinogens, including commercially available ones2–6.
