Rapid localization of indium-111-labeled inhibited recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in a rabbit thrombosis model.

چکیده
The thrombus localizing properties of indium-111-recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (111In-rt-PA) have been investigated in an effort to achieve prompt and accurate detection of thrombi. Unlike previous studies with rt-PA, the active plasminogen catalytic site was permanently inhibited with peptides of chloromethyl ketone so that the radiotracer binds to fibrin without causing fibrinolysis. Thrombi were created in the external jugular vein of 14 male New Zealand white rabbits followed by injection of 111In-rt-PA. The agent cleared rapidly in vivo with a half-time of 4.6 min. The thrombus: blood ratio in nonheparinized rabbits (n = 7) was 6.39 +/- 0.86. The ratio in heparinized rabbits (n = 4) was 3.11 +/- 0.23. Thrombi were clearly visible in the planar images of both groups 1 hr postinjection. The combination of rapid thrombus localization and positive images, especially in the presence of anticoagulation, suggests that further work is warranted with rt-PA thrombus imaging.

Effect of tissue plasminogen activator on intimal platelet accumulation in cerebral arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage in cats.
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator may be effective in preventing cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage by resolving subarachnoid clots. We previously demonstrated that blood placed on the adventitial surface of cerebral arteries enhances intimal platelet accumulation, positively correlating with endothelial damage and other pathologic changes in vessel walls. In this study, we...
متن کاملOptimizing refolding condition for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator
Low molecular size additives such as L-arginine and the redox compounds have been used both in the culturemedium and in vitro refolding to increase recombinant proteins production. Additives increase proteinrefolding and yield of active proteins by suppressing aggregate formation or enhancing refolding process.In this work, a comparative study was performed on refolding of rec...

متن کاملDestruction of Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rtPA) -Loaded Echogenic Liposomes under Dual Frequency Sonication
Background:Echogenic liposomes (ELIPs) encapsulate drugs and gas bubbles within lipid vesicles. The destruction of ELIPs in response to MHz and kHz ultrasound waves has been studied previously. Applying ultrasound above a certain threshold causes encapsulated gas bubbles destruct rapidly by fragmentation or more slowly by acoustically driven diffusion. This study compares the d...
