Abstract: The model of ligature mark injuries (5 min to 1 hr.) were produced on the neck of 40 wistar rats. The positive staining and distribution of Fibronectin (Fn) and Fibrinogen (Fb) in routine paraffin sections of the region of ligature mark were observed using streptuvidin-biotinperoxi-dase complex (SABC) technique. The results showed that a positive reaction of Fn and Fb could be detected in the skin corium under ligature marks only 5 minutes after injury. The longer the injury-time, the stronger positive staining could be observed.The strongest band-sharped positive stining of ligature marks where the epiderm was lost. No positive reaction could be observed in control groups with the exception of a few postmortem ligature marks which a weak akining of Fb in the skin corium could be found. The results indicate that detecting Fn and Fb are useful for distinguishing between atemortem and postmortem ligature mark.
