Development of an in vitro model to study clot lysis activity of thrombolytic drugs

BACKGROUND Thrombolytic drugs are widely used for the management of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis patients. Several in vitro models have been developed to study clot lytic activity of thrombolytic drugs, but all of these have certain limitations. There is need of an appropriate model to check the clot lytic efficacy of thrombolytic drugs. In the present study, an attempt has been made to des...

Clot retraction facilitates clot lysis.

Platelet facilitation of clot lysis was studied using the dilute clot lysis assay, a standardized assay for fibrinolysis shown to correlate with the development of postoperative deep vein thrombosis. Clots prepared from dilute platelet poor plasma showed prolonged clot lysis when compared with clots prepared in a similar fashion from dilute platelet rich plasma. Since in the presence of platele...

In Vitro Whole Blood Clot Lysis for Fibrinolytic Activity Study Using D-Dimer and Confocal Microscopy

This study aimed to evaluate in vitro whole blood (WB) clot lysis method for the assessment of fibrinolytic activity. Standardized unresected (uncut) retracted WB clot was incubated in pool platelet poor plasma (PPP) for varying incubation times and in streptokinase (SK) at different concentrations. The fibrinolytic activity was assessed by D-dimer (DD), confocal microscopy, and clot weight. DD...

The mechanism of in vitro clot lysis induced by vascular plasminogen activator.

The contribution of vascular plasminogen activator (v-PA) to the lysis of whole blood and plasma clots was investigated. v-PA released into the circulation after infusion of deamino-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) was shown to bind quantitatively to plasma clots. Its apparent molecular weight, determined by the SDS-PAGE fibrin-agarose underlay method, was approximately 68,000 daltons, and its ac...
