چکیده

With the availability of a method of purifying plasminogen from human Fraction IIL8 the therapeutic use of this enzyme in thrombotic conditions became a distinct possibility. Before attempting the clinical use of purified plasminogen, however, it appeared advisable to investigate the reporte that the enzyme responsible for the fibrinolytic activity can be separated from the agent producing proteolysis since this would make available a more desirable preparation for animal and clinical use. In addition, an investigation of the activation of plasminogen by streptokinase was considered desirable in view of the observation of Christensen1 that when plasminogen is activated by streptokinase, the solution obtained contains only a small percentage of the lytic activity which appears if the activation is carried out in the presence of substrate. The convincing demonstration by Cliffton, et al." that purified plasminogen, after activation by streptokinase in the absence of protective substrate, will dissolve clots in animals would make even more impressive the potent fibrinolytic power of this enzyme if Christensen's report is correct.

Preparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography

Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...

اثر آنتی بادی های منوکلونال ضد پلاسمینوژن انسانی بر فعال شدن گلو-پلاسمینوژن انسانی بوسیله فعال کننده های پلاسمینوژن

Background: Human plasminogen is a plasma glycoprotein synthesized mainly in the liver. Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin by plasminogen activators is a key event in the fibrinolytic system. In this study, we investigated the effects of two anti-human plasminogen monoclonal antibodies, A1D12 and MC2B8 on Glu-plasminogen activation in presence of u-PA, t-PA and streptokinase. Methods: Produci...

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...

Background: Plasminogen has a central role in fibrinolyrtic system can activate through various activators (PAs) to its active form plasmin and perfoem its vital function that is fibrin clot lysis. Furthermore the fibrinolyrtic system plays a major role in angiogenesis. The fibrinolyrtic system activation control cell migration and invasion. In addition to this, plasmin regulates tumor growth. ...

Serum Level of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-1 in Addicted Patients ‎with Coronary Artery Disease

Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a glycoprotein with inhibitory effects on the formation of plasmin from plasminogen by plasminogen activator. Thus, it prevents clot lysis in vessel walls. Several evidences prove the relationship between coronary artery disease and response to fibrinolytic therapy in patients with myocardial infarction with PAI-1 level. Opium addiction i...
