Abstract
Measurements of fibrin fiber mass-length ratios and fibrin gel elastic modulus as a function of dextran 70 concentration are reported for fibrin gels derived from human plasma. Dextran 70 at 0.1 mg/ml produces a 50% reduction in the storage modulus of fibrin gels obtained from human plasma diluted 1:10 with saline. Since the fibrin fiber diameter increases as only a weak function of the dextran 70 concentration, the lower elastic modulus is likely due to reduced network branch points. Aprotinin modulates the dextran effect.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
