Abstract
A treatment of ischemia and the attendant reperfusion injury entails the administration plasmin and plasmin-forming proteins, including lys-plasminogen and similar substances. Lys-plasminogen, which can be obtained from the proteolytic cleavage of glu-plasminogen, has been found to have a protective effect on tissue that has been injured by ischemic conditions. The administration of lys-plasminogen can used to treat subjects during the time of reperfusion and after reperfusion has already occurred. Lys-plasminogen also can be administered in conjunction with clot lysis therapies, such as those that employ tissue plasminogen activator and the like.
