摘要:
Tissue plasminogen activator analogs containing the growth factor domain of native t-PA, the domain having at least one cysteine residue replaced with another amino acid. The t-PA analogs may further contain a variety of substitutions and/or modifications. Pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of the t-PA analogs along with a physiologically acceptable carrier or diluent are also disclosed.

The present invention provides isolated DNA molecules comprising a DNA segment encoding a glucagon receptor. Also provided are DNA constructs comprising a first DNA segment encoding a glucagon receptor operably linked to additional DNA segments required for the expression of the first DNA segment, as well as host cells containing such DNA constructs. The present invention also provides a method for detecting the presence of glucagon antagonists, comprising the steps (a) exposing a compound in the presence of a glucagon agonist to a recombinant glucagon receptor coupled to a response pathway under conditions and for time sufficient to allow binding of the compound to the receptor and an associated response through the pathway, and (b) detecting a reduction to the stimulation of the response pathway resulting from the binding of the compound to the glucagon receptor, relative to the stimulation of the response pathway by the glucagon agonist alone and therefrom determining the presence of a glucagon antagonist.

摘要:
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) homologs having the fibrinolytic capacity of native t-PA in the presence of fibrin are disclosed. These homologs consist essentially of an amino-terminal fibrin-binding domain and a carboxyl-terminal serine protease domain, wherein said homolog is essentially fibrin-binding inactive in the absence of fibrin, has greater resistance to cleavage by plasmin than native t-PA, and has increased plasma half-life as compared to native t-PA. These homologs are also characterized as having at least one amino acid substitution within four amino acid residues of the activation site corresponding to native t-PA. The DNA constructs, expression vectors, and pharmaceutical compositions relating to these t-PA homologs are also disclosed.
