Biological Activity Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity determined by fibrining lysis in agarose plate is 5.0 × 104 IU/mg.

Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Less than 1 EU/µg of rSAK as determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Stability & Storage Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.

- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Usage This material is offered by Shanghai PrimeGene Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.

Background Staphylokinase is an amino acid enzyme secreted by several species of streptococci. It is a 16kDa potent plasminogen activator that converts plasminogen into plasmin which can digest fibrin the major constituent of blood thrombi. SAK forms 1:1 complex with plasmin, which is a positive feedback of producing other complexes. Recent studies on the thrombolytic potential of recombinant SAK in achieving early perfusion in myocardial infarction and in the dissolution of platelet-rich clot have clearly established its immense utility in clinical medicine as a thrombolytic agent and suggested that it can be developed as a potent clot-dissolving agent.
