Aim. To estimate the levels of of plasminogen (Pg) and inhibitor of plasminogen activators of type 1 (IPA-1) in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to reveal correlations between their content and clinical-laboratory characteristics of APS.

Tissue Plasminogen Activator [PDF]
Coronary thrombolysis has been proved to be beneficial in the treatment of myocardial infarction. Much attention has been focused on tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) as a fibrinolytic agent. This article will discuss the unique properties of t-PA and the role of the critical care nurse in providing the safe delivery of t-PA.

Contribution of plasminogen activation towards the pathogenic potential of oral streptococci. [PDF]
Oral streptococci are a heterogeneous group of human commensals, with a potential to cause serious infections. Activation of plasminogen has been shown to increase the virulence of typical human pathogenic streptococci such as S. pneumoniae.

Borrelia recurrentis employs a novel multifunctional surface protein with anti-complement, anti-opsonic and invasive potential to escape innate immunity [PDF]
Borrelia recurrentis, the etiologic agent of louse-borne relapsing fever in humans, has evolved strategies, including antigenic variation, to evade immune defence, thereby causing severe diseases with high mortality rates.

Proteolytic enzyme and adiponectin receptors as potential targets for COVID-19 therapy
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic requires not only the creation of vaccines to prevent the spread of the disease, but also the development of novel drugs aimed at reducing viral load, suppressing an excessive immune response and ...

Location, location, location: Fibrin, cells, and fibrinolytic factors in thrombi
Thrombi are heterogenous in nature with composition and structure being dictated by the site of formation, initiating stimuli, shear stress, and cellular influences. Arterial thrombi are historically associated with high platelet content and more tightly

Fibrinolysis and bleeding of unknown cause
Patients with bleeding of unknown cause (BUC) present with a variety of mild to moderate bleeding symptoms, but no hemostatic abnormalities can be found. Hyperfibrinolysis is rarely evaluated as the underlying cause for bleeding in clinical practice, and

Interaction with human plasminogen system turns on proteolytic activity in Streptococcus agalactiae and enhances its virulence in a mouse model [PDF]
Interactions of several microbial pathogens with the plasminogen system increase their invasive potential. In this study, we show that Streptococcus agalactiae binds human plasminogen which can be subsequently activated to plasmin, thus generating a ...
