ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of targeting reagents to the locus of a clot, and a family of substances that have affinity for fibrin. The method and substances exploit the discovery that the binding sites on protein A from Staphylococcus aureus have a significant affinity for fibrin. These fragments, analogs thereof, and oligomers of the fragments or analogs, may be attached to fibrinolytic enzymes, remotely detectable radiation emitting moieties, or healing agents to produce reagents which have affinity for the site of a wound or intravascular clot where fibrin has been deposited. Constructs comprising repeats of truncated analogs of the binding domain have low affinity for circulating immunoglobulin and high affinity for fibrin.
