Application
Streptokinase C from Streptococcus sp. has been used to quantitate the survival of Staphylococcus aureus in whole human blood.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Streptokinase shows fibrinolytic activity by triggering the circulatory plasminogen either via a fibrin-dependent or fibrin-independent mechanism. Streptokinase has been studied majorly in terms of its therapeutic efficacy and treating myocardial infarction to dissolve clots.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing approx. 50% bovine serum albumin (total protein by biuret) with sodium glutamate.
Other Notes
One unit will liquify a standard clot of fibrinogen, plasminogen, and thrombin at pH 7.5 at 37 °C in 10 min.
