An analysis was made of the various possible activators of single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) in the dextran sulphate euglobulin fraction (DEF) of human plasma. scu-PA activators were detected in an assay system in which the substrate scu-PA, in physiological concentration (50 …

Apart from tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), a third PA appears to occur in human plasma. Its activity is initiated when appropriate triggers of the contact system are added, and the activation depends on the presence of factor XII and prekallikrein …

An ELISA was set up using polyvinylchloride microtiter plates coated with rabbit anti-UK IgG's and affino-purified goat anti-UK IgG's as second antibody. Detection occurred with rabbit anti-goat IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase. The assay is specific for urokinase (UK) with a detection …

The specific fibrinolytic properties of both high molecular weight (55 kd) and low molecular weight (30 kd) pro-urokinase from a monkey kidney cell culture were evaluated in a plasma clot lysis system and compared with those of human urokinase. The system was composed of a radiolabelled plasma clot immersed …
