Abstract

Plasminogen tissue activator is a physiological component of the fibrinolytic system of the organism. A positive feature of its effect is its ability to activate fibrinolysis exclusively in the thrombus zone, practically without influencing this process in the general blood flow. At present the preparation was obtained by the biotechnological method. The clinical trials indicate its high efficiency. There was revealed the possibility of modification of the plasminogen tissue activator molecule that permits enhancement of its thrombolytic effect.
