Abstract

Strains of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans transformed with a functional cDNA comprising the entire coding region of human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) secrete biologically active protein into the culture medium. Activity is inhibited by treatment with t-PA specific polyclonal antibodies. The protein is correctly processed at the amino terminus and is not excessively glycosylated.
