Fibroblasts readily adhere to polymerizing fibrin, but not to fibrinogen or fully polymerized fibrin. Conditions for optimal interaction are similar to those known for the platelet-fibrin interaction. Fibroblasts retract fibrin formed by thrombin but not by reptilase. Fibrin retraction induced by fibroblasts is inhibited by agents inhibiting clot retraction induced by platelets.
