  • Patent number: 11613744
    Abstract: Provided are u-PA polypeptides and fusion proteins containing the u-PA polypeptides. The u-PA polypeptides are modified to have altered activity and/or specificity so that they cleave a complement protein, such as complement protein C3, to thereby inhibit complement activation. The modified u-PA polypeptides and fusion proteins that inhibit complement activation can be used for treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by complement activation, or in which complement activation plays a role. These disorders include ischemic and reperfusion disorders, including myocardial infarction and stroke, sepsis, autoimmune diseases, diabetic retinopathies, age-related macular degeneration, transplanted organ rejection, inflammatory diseases and diseases with an inflammatory component.
