Reconstitution of solubilized and purified membrane proteins in the presence of phospholipids into vesicles allows their functions to be studied by simple bulk measurements (e.g. diffusion of differently sized solutes) or by conductance measurements after transformation into planar membranes. On the other hand, reconstitution into regular protein-lipid arrays, usually forming at a specific lipid-to-protein ratio, provides the basis for determining the 3-dimensional structure of membrane proteins employing the tools of electron crystallography.To refine reconstitution conditions for reproducibly inducing formation of large and highly ordered protein-lipid membranes that are suitable for both electron crystallography and patch clamping experiments aimed at their functional characterization, we built a flow-dialysis device that allows precise control of temperature and flow-rate (Fig. 1). The flow rate is generated by a peristaltic pump and can be adjusted from 1 to 500 ml/h. The dialysis buffer is brought to a preselected temperature during its travel through a meandering path before it enters the dialysis reservoir. A Z-80 based computer controls a Peltier element allowing the temperature profile to be programmed as function of time.

The versatility of Low Temperature Field Emission SEM (LTFESEM) for viewing frozen-hydrated biological specimens, and the high resolutions that can be obtained with such instruments have been well documented. Studies done with LTFESEM have been usually limited to the viewing of small organisms, organs, cells, and organelles, or viewing such specimens after fracturing them.We use a Hitachi 4500 FESEM equipped with a recently developed BAL-TEC SCE 020 cryopreparation/transfer device for our LTFESEM studies. The SCE 020 is similar in design to the older SCU 020 except that instead of having a dedicated stage, the SCE 020 has a detachable cold stage that mounts on to the FESEM stage when needed. Since the SCE 020 has a precisely controlled lock manipulator for transferring the specimen table from the cryopreparation chamber to the cold stage in the FESEM, and also has a motor driven microtome for precise control of specimen fracture, we have explored the feasibility of using the LTFESEM for multiple-fracture studies of the same sample.

SummaryPharmacokinetics and systemic effects of recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) were determined during coronary thrombolysis in 12 acute myocardial infarction patients using a consecutive intravenous infusion regimen. Ten mg rt-PA were infused in 2 minutes resulting in a peak plasma concentration (mean ±SD) of 3310±950 ng/ml, followed by 50 mg in 1 h and 30 mg in 1.5 h yielding steady state plasma levels of. 2210±470 nglml and 930±200 ng/ml, respectively. All patients received intravenous heparin. Total clearance of rt-PA was 380±74 ml/min, t,½α was 3.6±0.9 min and t,½β was 16±5.4 min.After 90 min, in plasma samples containing anti-rt-PA-IgG to inhibit in vitro effects, fibrinogen was decreased to 54%, plasminogen to 52%, α2-antiplasmin to 25%, α2-macroglobulin to 90% and antithrombin III to 85% of initial values. Coagulation times were prolonged and fibrin D-dimer concentrations increased from 0.40 to 2.7 μg/ml. It is concluded that pharmacokinetics of rt-PA show low interpatient variability and that its short mean residence time in plasma allows precise control of therapy. Apart from its moderate effect on the haemostatic system, rt-PA appears to lyse a fibrin pool in addition to the coronary thrombus.
