   Abstract:
   A stable population of fibrinogen dimers cross-linked by Factor XIIIa has been prepared and examined in the electron microscope. The trinodular fibrinogen molecules are cross-linked through their outer nodules in an end-to-end, non-overlapping fashion. These dimers form normal banded fibers after treatment with the clotting enzyme, thrombin
