摘要

Acyl-plasmin-streptokinase complex has advantages as a 'site' directed fibrinolytic agent with the active site protected from the plasma protease inhibitors. But, in clinical use, the fibrinolytic potential of this acyl-enzyme complex is modified or abolished by the presence of streptokinase antibodies in the patients. Therefore, better therapeutic agents are required. In this work, chemical modification of the acyl-plasmin-streptokinase complex with polyethylene glycol was found to result in marked resistance to neutralization with streptokinase antibodies.
