    Abstract

    An inhibitor of the coagulation in [human] cord plasma could be extracted by phosphotungstic acid or acetone. Action of this inhibitor was tested by means of synthetic chromogenic substrates, thrombin times, 2-stage thrombin generation tests and thrombelastography. This inhibitor seemed to act mainly on fibrin behavior. The inhibitor may also have had a small effect on thrombin or thrombin generation. Some differences in the coagulation of adult and newborn plasma may be explained by this newborn inhibitor.
