Abstract
Plasma was used from rat, mouse, guinea pig, rabbit, dog, cat, sheep, goat, monkey, horse, pig, cow, fox, mink, porpoise, deer, manatee, seal, elephant, raccoon, pigeon, macaw, and humans; clotting time and gel formation activities by the compact-colony forming active substance (CCFAS) extracted from a strain of Staphylococcus aureus and relative staphylococcal clumping factor reaction were determined. Experimental results showed that every plasma was clotted and gel formation of plasma was observed by the CCFAS, however, although it was shown by the other plasmas, no clumping-factor reaction was observed with plasma from guinea pig, goat, and elephant.
