The effect of cross-linking on the stress relaxation of fibrin and collagen gels. Comparison of stress relaxation of collagen gels at 0.2 strain with and without chemical cross-linking by (A) glutaraldehyde (GTA) (0.1% and 0.2%) and (B) transglutaminase (tTG) (wt/wt ratio, 50:1 and 100:1). The time course of storage modulus of collagen gel cross-linked with (C) GTA and (D) tTG. (E) Comparison of stress relaxation tests between fibrin network with and without cross-linking by factor XΙΙΙ. (F) Verification of purification of factor XIII from the fibrin gels without factor XIII cross-linking; SDS/PAGE gel of time evolution of fibrin gel with factor XΙΙΙ (fXΙΙΙ) and without it (fXΙΙΙ free).
