Daniel Kline, medical researcher
Daniel L. Kline was an accomplished medical researcher, teacher and Egyptologist.
Mr. Kline, 82, who lived in North Avondale before moving to Paddock Hills five years ago, died Friday at Christ Hospital after a 10-month illness.
Mr. Kline received international acclaim in 1954 when he purified plasminogen so it could be used to thin blood.
"He did the basic research on it," said Mr. Kline's daughter, Emily Marks of Kensington, Calif. "It was very important in dissolving blood clots."
Mr. Kline also taught college physiology more than 40 years and was chairman of the physiology department at the University of Cincinnati Medical School for 21 years.
After retiring from UC in 1987, Mr. Kline concentrated on his hobby - Egyptology. He wrote a biography of scientist Thomas Young, the first person to decipher the Rosetta Stone.
"Daniel learned how to read hieroglyphics through a mail-order course," said Mr. Kline's wife of 55 years, Vivian Kline. "He got interested in the early datings of Israel and Egypt and from that he began reading about the Rosetta Stone."
Mr. Kline was born in Philadelphia on Christmas Day 1917, one of seven children in a poor family.
"He was very bright and graduated from high school at age 16, but had to go to work before he could go to college because his family had no money," said Mrs. Kline.
He went on to receive a Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1945 and taught briefly at Long Island Medical College before receiving one of the first five-year fellowships at Yale University Medical School.
Mr. Kline taught physiology to nurses, first-year medical students and graduate students for 19 years at Yale, where he also figured out how to purify plasminogen so it could be used as a blood thinner. In 1966, Mr. Kline became chairman of the physiology deparment of the UC Medical School.
Other survivors: daughters Kathy Kline of New York City and Elizabeth Kline of Cambridge, Mass.; three brothers, Jerry Kline of New York City, Chuck Kline of La Jolla, Calif., and Steve Kline of Philadelphia; a sister, Ruth Kline of Philadelphia; and six grandchildren.
Friends may call at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the family home at 1343 Westminster Drive, Paddock Hills. A memorial service will be held later at the University of Cincinnati Medical School auditorium. Mr. Kline donated his body for research at the UC Medical School.
Nurre Bros. Funeral Home in Clifton was in charge of arrangements. Memorials: The Friends of the Library at the University of Cincinnati.
