Abstract excerpt
Alpha2-antiplasmin (alpha2-AP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) are the main physiological inhibitors of the plasminogen/plasmin system in mammalian plasma. In the present study, the relative importance of both inhibitors was evaluated with the use of mice with single or combined deficiency of alpha2-AP and PAI-1 in the same genetic background. Mice with combined deficiency (alpha2-AP-/-:PAI-1-/-)...
