Summary of fibrin polymerization kinetics at different fibrinogen γ/γ’ concentrations on HMEC-1. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error (SE). Experiments were performed each time in triplicate in three independent experiments

γ/γ’ (%)	MaxAbs (mOD)		Slope (mOD/min)		LT (min)
	+Cell	-Cell	+Cell	-Cell	+Cell	-Cell
3	440 ± 20	390 ± 10	60 ± 2	45 ± 10	0	0
10	460 ± 50	340 ± 30	60 ± 5	49 ± 6	3	3
30	320 ± 30*	230 ± 30*	36 ± 2*	20 ± 6*	3	3

(+) Cell: in the presence of HMEC-1 cells; (−): in the absence of HMEC-1 cells

*p < 0.05: Fibrin formed in the absence or on HMEC-1 culture at 30% γ/γ’,

compared to that of 3 and 10% γ/γ’
