Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts derived from rabbit anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments were found to constitutively produce and secrete a plasminogen activator (PA). The PA was identified as urokinase-like using biochemical, immunological, and molecular techniques. These fibroblasts also produced and...
