Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator (t-PA)

Various other proteins have also been produced using cultured cells. t-PA or tissue type plasminogen activator is important among them.

Recombinant t-PA has been clinically trialled.

It has been proved safe and effective in dissolving blood clots in patients with cardiac diseases and thrombotic disorders.

A considerable production of this protein is nowadays achieved through cell culture techniques.
