The recombinant vaccine (pEGS/2SS-tPA) was constructed by inserting the sequence of
tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA) into previous somatostatin DNA vaccine (pEGS/2SS) (Cao et al., 2005).

Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA).
Under physiologic conditions, the conversion ofplasminogen to plasmin is regulated by activators such as
tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), and FXIIa.
Although a medicine called
tissue plasminogen activator can break up blood clots in the brain, it must be given soon after the start of symptoms to work, and there are no other clinically effective treatments currently available for this condition.
Tissue plasminogen activator, a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots, increased (11.6+-5 per cent) immediately after CAP exposure in the olive oil group, and this effect persisted up to 20 hours.
The company will be enrolling around 60 patients in the trial from around 15 sites within and outside the United States with Rutherford Category IIa and IIb acute lower limb ischemia receiving catheter-directed recombinant
tissue plasminogen activator and compare a high and low dose of MST-188 against recombinant
tissue plasminogen activator alone.
"Our data showed that treatment of acute stroke with AcSDKP alone or in combination with tPA substantially reduced neurovascular damage and improved neurological outcome." Commonly called a "clot-buster," tPA, or
tissue plasminogen activator, is the only FDA-approved treatment for acute stroke.
SAN DIEGO - The percentage of patients arriving at hospitals with ischemic stroke who were treated with
tissue plasminogen activator within the recommended 60 minutes increased from 30% to 53% on average at 1,030 hospitals engaged in the Target: Stroke program in the past 4 years.
