Fibrinogen has been purified from normal and dysfibrinogenemia Metz plasmas, and from normal and from the patient's platelets. There are differences in the pattern of disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis between normal plasma and normal platelet fibrinogens, but the migration of the A alpha chain is similar. The abnormality of the electrophoretic mobility of the A alpha chain of plasma fibrinogen from Metz dysfibrinogenemia is not found in platelet fibrinogen of this patient. This result clearly establishes that platelet fibrinogen is a different protein from plasma fibrinogen.
