SummaryFibrinogen and fibrin related chains in reduced human plasma as well as the bonds interlinking partially cross-linked fibrin from plasma clots have been studied by means of 1D- and 2D electrophoresis and Western blotting. Immunovisualization of reduced plasma or partially cross-linked fibrin with monoclonal antibodies specific for the α-chains or the γ-chains have shown that several bands represent material belonging to both chains. In order to decide whether these bands constitute αγ-chain hybrids or superimposed α- and γ-chain dimers, the cross-linked material was separated according to both isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight (MW) using Pharmacia’s Multiphor II system. Western blotting of the second dimension gels revealed that partially cross-linked fibrin contains αsγt-chain hybrids and γ- polymers, in addition to the well-known γ-dimers and α-polymers. The main αsγt-chain hybrid has a pI between that of the α- and the γ-chains, a MW of about 200 kDa and contains Aα-chains with intact fibrinopeptide A (FPA). It was also observed that soluble fibrinogen/fibrin complexes as well as partially cross-linked fibrin contain degraded α-dimers with MWs close to the γ-dimers. These findings demonstrate that factor XIII-catalyzed cross-linking of fibrin is a more complex phenomenon than earlier recognized.

SummaryOf the two cell types it was possible to culture from the dissociated rat liver, hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, only the former were fibrinolytically active. Rat hepatocytes during the first 24 hr in culture secreted two plasminogen activators with molecular weights identical to those found in rat plasma, an 80,000-dalton form (PA-80) and a 45,000-dalton form (PA-45). Partially purified preparations of plasminogen activators from both sources were subjected to isoelectric focusing (IEF) to compare characteristics further. There were three distinct peaks of PA-45 in each preparation with isoelectric points of 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4; all electrophoretic forms had the same low affinity to fibrin. PA-80 from both sources displayed similar IEF profiles with forms ranging from pH values of 7 to 8, all with the same high affinity to fibrin. The major form of PA-80 in the plasma preparation had an isoelectric point of 7.9 whereas that in the hepatocyte preparation had an isoelectric point of 7.6. The isolated perfused rat liver was also shown to produce both PA-80 and PA-45 emphasizing the physiological relevance of the findings with hepatocytes. It is concluded that in the rat hepatocytes contribute to the plasma profile with regard to the plasminogen activator content.

Laboratory Results

Retention of cationic dispersed rosin size was studied via turbidity measurements on stock filtrate with different alum and dispersed rosin size dosages. Stock charge characteristics were analyzed using both an analysis of charge demand determined via a streaming current detector and an evaluation of zeta potential of the fibers by streaming potential measurement. The results indicated that an optimum amount of alum existed such that good sizing retention was maintained throughout a wide range of dispersed rosin size dosages. However, when an excessive amount of alum was used and fines and colloidal particles were transitioned from anionic to cationic, the cationic size retention was reduced. Laboratory results were confirmed with a paper machine trial. All data suggested that a stock charge study was necessary to identify optimal alum dosage for a cationic dispersed rosin sizing program.
