Do connective tissue components induce plasma activation in vivo?

ABSTRACT

1. this oaoer describes the effect if homologous plasma in contact with connective tissue on vascular perveability, edema and cell migration. 2. The contact of "non-activated"plasma with connective tissue structures does not tesults in generation of mediators responsible for increase in vascular premeability or in edema. 3. "Activated" plasma is able to induce vascular permeability and edema when in contact with connective tissue components. 4. Injection of "non-activated" or "activated" plasma induced a mild inflammatory cell migration
