Fig. 1From: Fibrinogen alpha C chain 5.9 kDa fragment (FIC5.9), a biomarker for various pathological conditions, is produced in post-blood collection by fibrinolysis and coagulation factorsFibrinogen and FIC5.9 region (a). A model of FIC5.9 synthesis (b). FIC5.9 is released from fibrinogen during the process of blood coagulation [8]. FIC5.9 is not found in blood plasma and only detected in serum after blood clottingBack to article page
