Abstract

The iodogen labelling technique has been applied to rat fibrinogen. Catabolism and body distributions of fibrinogen in the rat have been studied with fibrinogen labelled with 0.5 iodine atoms incorporated/mole of fibrinogen and biologically screened for 48 hours. Seventy-seven percent of fibrinogen body pool appeared to be localized intravascularly and a plasma half-life time of 23 hours has been found. The fractional catabolic rate was found to be 0.96/day under steady-state conditions.
