title: Plasma fibronectin concentration in normal subjects.
abstract: The plasma concentration of fibronectin was determined in 374 normal subjects, newborn to 85 years of age, by quantitative electroimmunoassay. The plasma fibronectin concentration was higher in males than in females and the concentration increased with age. No day to day or diurnal variation was found. Different stabilizers of blood did not influence the results.
