Fibrinogen
Science has become politicized, and that's an embarrassment. —Seth MacFarlane
Fibrinogen consists of alpha, beta and gamma subunits that are held together by disulfide bonds. Thrombin disrupts the disulfide bonds, causing the subunits to re-arrange themselves into molecular strands of solublle fibrin. Factor VIII converts soluble fibrin to insoluble fibrin.
During World War I the French army developed a plasma substitute consisting of freeze-dried fibrinogen that was used as an emergency blood substitute. Similar products remain available in France, but are unheard of in North America. Such a product would provide an inexpensive and convenient alternative to fresh frozen plasma if it were available. It could be used to quickly re-constitute fresh-frozen packed red blood cells so as to provide a safe, convenient and cheap blood replacement free of bacterial contamination or allergic potential.
