Fibrinogen, is an extract used in skin and nerve grafting as a kind of glue to keep the graft in position. Gamma Globulin is another part of plasma, and scientists believe that gamma globulins have attached to them various anti-bodies also found in the body which it is hoped, by concentration to a powerful solution, may prove of value in combatting diseases such as measles and hepatitis. The Future Obviously blood transfusion is destined to play an even bigger role than at present in saving life and combatting disease. Transfusion is now an essential part of the country's ordinary health services. The National Blood Transfusion Service is responsible for supplying hospitals in all parts of the country with adequate supplies of blood; but it cannot succeed unless more people come forward as donors. Ministry of Health, Whitehall, S.W.1. April, 1947
