Abstract
Summary
Contact with certain adsorbents reduces the anticephalin activity of normal and hemophilic plasmas and accelerates the conversion rate of the prothrombin of such plasmas. Increases in the rate of conversion of prothrombin appear to be due to diminution of anticephalin activity and may be one cause of the disagreement in the results of quantitative determination of prothrombin by the 1-stage and 2-stage methods.
