TitlePaper, 'On the origin of the fibrin-ferment' by L C [Leonard Charles] Wooldridge
CreatorWooldridge; Leonard Charles (fl 1883-1889)
Date1884
DescriptionWooldridge writes: 'The “fibrin ferment” which makes its appearance in shed blood is generally, I believe, supposed to arise from the cellular elements of blood, either from ordinary white corpuscles or from some special kind of corpuscles, the cells so concerned discharging the ferment into the blood or setting it free by their actual disintegration. Without wishing to deny that this may be one source of fibrin ferment, I am able, I think, to bring forward evidence that ferment may make its appearance in blood-plasma perfectly free from cellular, and indeed from all formed elements, in which case it must arise from some constituents of the plasma itself, and not from cells of any kind. It will be most convenient, perhaps, if I state the facts which I have to bring forward in connexion with two series of experiments.'
