IV. On the artificial production of fibrin from albumen

Abstract

The condition in which fibrin exists in the blood and other fluids, and the deviation in quantity and quality in certain cases of disease from that of normal blood, has been to physiologists a subject of reat interest. From the close resemblance of fibrin to albumen, I was induced to undertake a series of experiments, which appear to ne to have some value in determining the conditions under which ibrin is derived from albumen, and which have resulted in the discovery of the general principle by which the direct conversion of albumen into fibrin may be effected.
