SummaryUtilizing the immunoglobulin fraction from a goat antiserum against human uterine tissue plasminogen activator, an enzyme- linked immunoassay for tissue-type plasminogen activator in human plasma has been developed. With the new method, the concentration of t-PA in normal human acidified plasma is found to be 4.0 ± 1.8 (SD) ng/ml. It increases to 12 ng/ml after a tomiquet test, and to 14 ng/ml after strenous physical exercise. In a group of patients with idiopathic thromboembolic disease, the resting t-PA concentration was 5 ng/ml and the post-occlusion value 16 ng/ml. Furthermore, the patients also exhibited a normal post-occlusion rise in the concentration of plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex. However, in 37% of the post-occlusion patient plasmas, virtually no increase in t-PA could be detected by a specific activity assay. The results indicate that the reason for a defective post-occlusion fibrinolytic activity in a majority of cases may be the presence of increased concentrations of a fast-acting specific t-PA inhibitor.

Abstract We describe efficient, accurate methods for specific determination of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA, EC 3.4.21.31) and its "fast" inhibitor in plasma. In this coupled assay, a sample containing t-PA is incubated with plasminogen, a plasmin (EC 3.4.21.7) substrate of low Km and high Kcat, and fibrin as a stimulator. The inhibitor of t-PA is determined by incubating the sample with a known amount of t-PA in excess, then determining the residual t-PA. Both t-PA and t-PA inhibitor can be determined in many samples simultaneously within a few hours. These assays are modifications of procedures described by us (Clin Chim Acta 1983;127:279-88 and Thromb Res 1983;31:427-36). Their accuracy as assessed by analytical recovery of pure t-PA added to blood samples (91 +/- 4%) or of partly purified inhibitor added to plasma samples (102 +/- 10%) is satisfactory, as is their precision. For the t-PA assay the CV was 1.6% (within run) or 4.1% (between run). The corresponding values for the inhibitor assay were 4.5% (within run) or 8.4% (between run) if the inhibitor concentration exceeded 3 arb. units/mL.
