Optimizing 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...

The mast cell as site of tissue-type plasminogen activator expression and fibrinolysis.

Recent data suggest that mast cells (MC) and their products (heparin, proteases) are involved in the regulation of coagulation and fibrino(geno)lysis. The key enzyme of fibrinolysis, plasmin, derives from its inactive progenitor, plasminogen, through catalytic action of plasminogen activators (PAs). In most cell systems, however, PAs are neutralized by plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs). W...

Mast cell-mediated remodeling and fibrinolytic activity protect against fatal glomerulonephritis.

Mast cells are detrimental in several inflammatory diseases; however, their physiological roles are also increasingly recognized. Recent data suggest that mast cells may also be involved in renal diseases. We therefore used congenitally mast cell-deficient W/W(v) mice and normal +/+ littermates to assess their role in anti-glomerular basement membrane-induced glomerulonephritis. Following admin...

Proteomics Profiling of Chimeric-Truncated Tissue Plasminogen activator Producing- Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Cultivated in a Chemically Defined Medium Supplemented with Protein Hydrolysates

Background: Culture media enrichment through the addition of protein hydrolysates is beneficial for achieving higher protein expression. Methods: In this study, designing the optimum mixture of four soy and casein-derived hydrolysates was successfully performed by design of experiment and specific productivity increased in all predicted combinations. Protein profile of recombinant CHO (rCHO) ce...
