title: Quantitative determination of plasmin: a fibrinogenolytic method.
abstract: A test system for the quantitative determination of plasmin activity is described. The proposed method is a modification of that employed in the well recognized casein test with human fibrinogen substituted for casein. With fibrinogen as substrate, the method gains specificity and sensitivity. The applicability to clinical use of the described fibrinogenolytic method for determination of the plasminogen/plasmin concentration in plasma is demonstrated.
