Background Thrombolytic therapy reduces mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction, but significant limitations exist with the use of currently available agents. In the present report, we describe the thrombolytic and antithrombotic potencies of a hybrid recombinant plasminogen activator consisting of an antifibrin antibody 59D8 (AFA) and low-molecular-weight single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scuPA).Methods and Results A thrombolysis model in which thrombi are preformed in vivo in juvenile baboons was developed to compare the potencies of AFA-scuPA, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA), and recombinant scuPa (rscuPA) in lysing nonocclusive In-111-labeled platelet-rich arterial-type thrombi and I-125-labeled fibrin-rich venous-type thrombi. Systemic infusion of 1.89 nmol/kg AFA-scuPA produced thrombolysis that was comparable to that obtained with much higher doses of TPA (14.2 nmol/kg) and rscuPA (28.5 nmol/kg). When steady-state plasma concentrations are normalized, AFA-scuPA lyses thrombi sixfold more rapidly than scuPA and TPA (P
