Abstract: The present invention relates to improved plasminogen activators (improved t-PA) which have a prolonged biological half life, an increased stability to heat and acids and can be expected to be effective as inhibiting inflammation around the site in which thrombus is formed.
Abstract: This invention provides a family of insecticidally effective proteins and particular members of that family which may be isolated from the venom of the spider Filistata hibernalis, DNA encoding such proteins, insecticidal compositions of these proteins or the DNA encoding them, and methods for controlling invertebrate pests. Recombinant expression vectors and host cells and methods for producing insecticidally effective peptides are also provided.
