Abstract
Comparison of clotting times in reaction mixtures containing purified fibrinogen and purified staphylococcal coagulase with reaction mixtures containing staphylococcal coagulase, fibrinogen and coagulase reacting factor (CRF) indicates that CRF participates as a true accelerator. Clots in the former reaction were observed in 120 min and in the latter in 3 min. The fibrinous nature of the clots was determined by electron microscopy.Keywords
