Abstract

Peptides which bind to fibrinogen are disclosed. These peptides have available fibrinogen binding domains having a Phe-Leu-Leu-Val or Leu-Leu-Val-Pro sequence. The preferred peptide is a 6-mer having the sequence Phe-Leu-Leu-Val-Pro-Leu (SEQ ID NO:1). A method of using these peptides in an affinity chromatography process to purify fibrinogen is described.
