"If you have thrombin and you have fibrinogen, the rest of the sealant kit is trivial to make by comparison"

it may be trivial to make, but not so if you want to maintain an all recombinant formulation. i am shooting from the hip and can be way off here, but i say this simply because i recall tisseel has a bovine component despite both the thromgin and fibrinogen are human (i'm not sure what the bovine component is, but clearly there is a third ingredient necessary that is soem naturally occurring complex entity)
