Abstract excerpt
Increased levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the main physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in plasma, are a known risk factor for thromboembolic and cardiovascular diseases. The elucidation of the binding site of inhibitory monoclonal antibodies may contribute to the rational design of PAI-1 modulating therapeutics. In this study, homolog-scanning mutagenesis was...
