Abstract
Tissue plasminogen activator analogs exhibiting greater specificity for fibrin than native t-PA are disclosed. The analogs include the K1 domain of native t-PA replaced with another kringle domain mediating the binding of the analog to fibrin. The kringle contains six cysteine residues. The t-PA analogs may further include a variety of substitutions and modifications. Pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of the t-PA analogs along with a physiologically acceptable carrier or diluent are also disclosed.
