Alpha 2-antiplasmin deficiency in a Sudanese child: a case report [PDF]
Background The plasma serine protease inhibitor alpha 2-antiplasmin (α2-AP, otherwise known as α2-plasmin inhibitor) is a rapid-acting plasmin inhibitor recently found in human plasma, which seems to have a significant role in the regulation of in vivo ...

Generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against the N-terminus of alpha-2-antiplasmin. [PDF]
Around 70% of circulating alpha-2-antiplasmin (α2AP), the main natural plasmin inhibitor, is N-terminally cleaved between residues Pro12 and Asn13 by antiplasmin-cleaving enzyme.

Evaluation of Fibrinolytic Inhibitors: Alpha-2-Antiplasmin and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. [PDF]
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) induces thrombophilia and reduces fibrinolysis. Alpha-2-antiplasmin (a-2-AP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) are major inhibitors of the fibrinolytic system.

Rapid plasma-based screening of fibrinolytic activation in trauma: a single-center observational cohort study [PDF]
Background: Viscoelastic testing is commonly used to assess fibrinolytic phenotypes in trauma, with values of thromboelastogram (TEG) clot lysis at 30 minutes after maximum amplitude (LY30) >3% considered indicative of hyperfibrinolysis.

Enhanced thrombin and plasmin generation profiles in alpha-2-antiplasmin–deficient patients: Data from the Rare Bleeding disorders in the Netherlands study [PDF]
Background: α2-Antiplasmin (A2AP) deficiency is a rare and often unidentified disorder characterized by increased fibrinolysis and subsequent bleeding. Global hemostasis assays may increase insight into the altered coagulation and fibrinolysis in these ...
