Abstract:
:The major covalently linked multimolecular D fragments found in plasmic digests of factor XIIIa cross-linked fibrin formed under physiological pH and ionic strength conditions consist of D dimers, D trimers, and D tetramers. These fragments are linked by epsilon-amino-gamma-glutamyllysine bonds in the carboxy-terminal regions of their gamma chains, which had originated in the cross-linked fibrin as gamma dimers, gamma trimers, and gamma tetramers, respectively. In this study, factors affecting the degree and rate of formation of these three classes of cross-linked gamma chains were determined by analyzing the D-fragment content of plasmic digests of cross-linked fibrin that had been sampled after all gamma-chain monomers had been consumed in the cross-linking process. D trimers and D tetramers, expressed as a proportion of the total D-fragment content, both increased at the expense of the D-dimer population as a function of increasing factor XIII concentration, the time of cross-linking, or the CaCl2 concentration. Their levels decreased as the ionic strength was raised by NaCl addition. However, the ionic strength effect could be reversed by concomitantly raising the CaCl2 concentration. Digests of clots prepared from recalcified fresh citrated plasma also contained each type of cross-linked D fragment, and the proportion of D trimers and D tetramers in the digest increased with increasing clot incubation time. These results indicate that gamma-trimer and gamma-tetramer formation is a dynamic physiological process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
