  Objective(s): Streptokinase (SKa) is an antigenic protein which is secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptokinase induces inflammation by complement activation, which may play a role in post infectious diseases. In the present study, recombinant streptokinase from S. pyogenes was produced and showed that recombinant SKa protein was recognized by infected human sera using Western blot analy...

background: streptokinase is a bacterial protein produced by different beta hemolytic streptococci and widely used in thrombolytic treatment. the main disadvantage of using streptokinase is antibody formation which causes allergic reaction to neutralize effects of streptokinase therapy. aim of this study was investigate of recombinant mutant streptokinase fibrinolytic activity. m aterials and m...

background: streptokinase is a potent activator of plasminogen to plasmin, the enzyme that can solubilize the fibrin network in blood clots. streptokinase is currently used in clinical medicine as a thrombolytic agent. it is naturally secreted by β-hemolytic streptococci. methods: to reach an efficient method of purification, an immunoaffinity chromatography method was developed that could puri...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of streptokinase and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) on the viscosity of pus to assess whether the DNase in the old preparation of streptokinase-streptodornase used intrapleurally to treat empyema was contributing to easier drainage of pus compared with purified streptokinase. DESIGN In vitro measurement of pus viscosity. PATIENTS Pus from three patients...

BACKGROUND Streptokinase is a routinely used thrombolytic agent that is immunogenic and relatively inefficient toward platelet-rich thrombus, whereas staphylokinase is a poorly studied fibrinolytic agent. Here, the comparative immunogenicity and thrombolytic properties toward arterial platelet-rich thrombus and venous whole blood clots of streptokinase and recombinant staphylokinase were studie...

Streptokinase (SK) is being increasingly used in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. The feeding control method using substrate balance equations is vital to maintain the preferred specific growth rate for the high-level expression of recombinant proteins. In this study, initial experiments on chemical and temperature inducible expression systems were carried out t...
