Normal human plasma contains fibrinogens of different MW. To quantitate these fibrinogens, plasma was clotted at pH 6.4 with 7.5 NIH [National Institutes of Health] U/ml thrombin in the presence of 8 mM EDTA. The clots were dissolved in 6.6 M urea and submitted to SDS [sodium dodecyl sulfate] electrophoresis on gels containing 3% polyacrylamide/0.5% agarose, and the fractions quantitated by densitometric scanning. The reproducibility of this method was high with variation coefficient 1.5%. Three main fibrinogen fractions were found: high MW fibrinogen (HMW, MW 340,000), low MW fibrinogen (LMW, MW 300,O00) and LMW'' (MW 280,000). In addition, 5 weak bands could be seen. In plasma from 123 healthy subjects of both sexes, aged 1-93 yr, HMW constituted 69.7 .+-. 5.1%, LMW 26.5 .+-. 4.8% and LMW'' 3.8 .+-. 1.8% of the total fibrinogen. Women and older subjects displayed a small, but statistically significant reduction in the relative amounts of HMW (2-4%). Following surgery and extensive acute myocardial infarction the HMW/LMW ratio changed. The substantial increase in total fibrinogen regularly recorded was mainly due to HMW that reached maximal values after 3-4 days. LMW remained unchanged the first 2 days and then displayed a slight increase with a delayed maximum (8-11 days).
