1C-Globulin and Synthetic Fibrinolytic Agents
SummarySynthetic organic fibrinolytic agents modify on incubation β1C-globulin both in its isolated form and in serum. The compounds suppress complement C' activity of serum. Compounds chemically closely related to the fibrinolytic ones but with no fibrinolytic activity themselves do not affect β1C-globulin or complement C′.
