Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) inhibits plasmin degradation of fibrin. A mechanism that slows tPA-mediated fibrinolysis but does not require alpha 2-antiplasmin or leakage of intrinsic plasminogen.

Thrombolysis is dramatically slower when high concentrations of lytic agent are used. This paradoxical observation, first described as "plasminogen steal," was originally believed to be due to depletion of extrinsic plasminogen and consequent leaching of clot-bound plasminogen. We report t...
