Abstract

The clot uptake of labeled active and inhibited t-PA was compared. The most efficient inhibition was obtained with diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) after 4 h incubation at room temperature. Enzyme activity was followed by fibrin-plate assay, radioactivity-release technique and proton magnetic resonance (PMR). The novel PMR method developed by us is sensitive to the effect of as low as nanogram amounts of t-PA on the interaction between the fibrin and the compartmentalized water trapped in the clot. Binding of labeled enzyme to fibrin-coated plates showed that the deactivation by DFP did not impair the affinity of t-PA for fibrin. A rapid binding of 125I-labeled t-PA to the clot occurred, which reached a maximum in 30 min and declined with time. This pattern was explained by consecutive clot binding and lysis. The binding of DFP-t-PA to the clot differed markedly from that of the active protein; 2 h post-incubation the uptake of DFP-t-PA was more than double that of the untreated t-PA. Parallel measurements in clots prepared from human blood showed a qualitatively similar trend. The biodistribution of radiolabeled t-PA in mice was similar for the active and inhibited forms. Blood activity reached 10% of the injected dose within...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
