Competition between adsorbed fibrinogen and high‐molecular‐weight kininogen on solid surfaces incubated in human plasma (the vroman effect): Influence of solid surface wettability

Abstract
The influence of the surface energy on the competition between fibrinogen and high‐molecular‐weight kininogen has been studied with the use of a recently described wettability gradient method. One finding is that the decrease in the antifibrinogen binding on plasma incubated gradient surfaces was not associated with an increase in anti‐HMWK binding at all parts of the gradient surfaces.
