Abstract excerpt
A recombinant plasmin receptor (Plr) gene product originally cloned from group A streptococcal isolate 64/14 was analysed for its ability to bind plasmin(ogen) and to account for all the surface plasmin-binding properties of streptococcal isolate 64/14. Functional analysis of recombinant Plr demonstrated that the protein exhibited equal reactivity with human Lys-plasmin and Lys-plasminogen, but significantly...
