Article Title: Hypoalbuminemia Increases Fibrin Clot Density and Impairs Fibrinolysis
doi: 10.1101/2025.02.03.635731
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A , B ) Representative residual clots at the clot lysis assay endpoint (60 minutes) from pDTR -nephrotic rat plasmas supplemented with recombinant Albumin ( A ) or Ovalbumin ( B ) ( shows representative residual clots of unmanipulated samples). ( C ) Lysis, expressed as a percentage of rat PNP values, is corrected by rAlbumin, but not Ovalbumin, supplementation. WT: wild-type; DT: diphtheria toxin; pDTR : podocin-promoter driven diphtheria toxin receptor transgene; rAlbumin: recombinant albumin; OvA: ovalbumin (note: OvA is a serpin-family, not an albumin-family, protein); n=5-8 rats/group; * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001.
Article Snippet: In other experiments, CLA was performed with tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA; 20 nM) or plasmin (1.2 μM) in lieu of uPA or after immunodepleting or supplementing specific proteins, as indicated – most notably, recombinant human albumin (expressed in P. pastoris ; Millipore Sigma).
