  • Activatable fibrinolytic and anti-thrombotic proteins
    Patent number: 5637492
    Abstract: Proteinaceous compounds are activatable by enzymes of the clotting cascade to have fibrinolytic or clot formation inhibition activity. For example, a plasminogen analogue is activatable to plasmin by thrombin or Factor Xa. Fibrinolytic or clot formation inhibition activity is therefore directed to the site of clot formation.
