Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) is a urokinase inhibitor that is expressed primarily in monocytes. THP-1 monocytes, however. contain a unique defect in the production of PAI-2 in that the PAI-2 transcript is truncated and the expressed protein inactive (1). Here we describe the basis of this mutation in THP-1 cells. Southern blot analysis of THP-1-derived genomic DNA indicated that there were no...
