Abstract
Summary
By its use in a variety of blood clotting systems, soybean phosphatide has been shown to act as a partial thromboplastin in blood coagulation. In vitro, this substance displayed anti-heparin activity in human and dog blood and anti-protamine activity in human plasma. A simplified thromboplastin generation test is described for the study of hemorrhagic disorders. Soybean phosphatide serves as a complete substitute for platelets in this test.
