Abstract excerpt
The effects of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and of an inactive mutant of rt-PA, obtained by mutagenesis of the active site Ser478 to Ala (rt-PA-Ala478), on the synthesis and secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in culture were studied. Under base-line conditions, PAI-1 antigen secretion was 4.3 +/- 1.0 micrograms (mean...
