Factors effecting the polymerization of fibrin are briefly reviewed, and it is shown that a preliminary x irradiation modifies the polymerization and therefore the clot structure. ln order to determine whether the dependency between clot structure and pH is also present in irradiated plasma, blood plasma was irradiated at different pH values. The results show that at a given pH the clot transparency in the irradiated samples is much larger than in unirradiated samples. The reasons for the variation in the optical density of the clots were studied and possible solutions were suggested.
