Abstract
Summary
1. A method is described for the assay of antihemophilic factor; results may be expressed in per cent of a control plasma or in units. Hemophilic blood, canine or human, is used as substrate. 2. In normal dogs, regardless of sex, and in females heterozygous for hemophilia, a steady state of plasma AHF appears to exist. The antihemophilic activity of heterozygotes is approximately the same as that of normal dogs. 3. The antihemophilic activity of plasma is maintained at normal levels following acute liver injury, as well as after dicumarol administration.
