Because tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), used to treat myocardial infarction, has several disadvantages thought to be connected with its low half-life, mutants of tPA have been prepared with longer half-lives. We have compared the thrombolytic effect of such a mutant, YM866, with that of tPA in copper-coil-induced femoral arterial thrombosis in dogs. One hour after thrombus formation, YM866 was...
