SummaryΔ2−89 t-PA is a deletion mutant lacking the finger (F) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains; thus, the fibrin interaction of this molecule must be mediated solely by the kringle region. In the present study, the influence of the oligosaccharide side-chains on the activity of Δ2−89 t-PA has been investigated. Δ2−89 t-PA was secreted in two forms, designated I and II, which presumably differ by the lack of one asparagine-linked oligosaccharide in the kiiugle 2 domain of form TT, Forms I and II of Δ2−89 t-PA weie puiified; form II displayed higher fibrinolytic activity than form I. When foini I was partially deglycosylated or treated to remove sialic acid, fibrinolytic activity was increased. Production of Δ2−89 in the presence of timicamycin led to secielion of a glyean-free activator with higher activity. These findings suggest that certain oligusacchaiide side chains, particularly (hose containing sialic acid, can interfere with the interaction between the kringle region of t-PA and fibrin.

SummaryA series of hybridoma clones, each producing monoclonal antibodies to human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), were prepared from mice by standard procedures. Two of these clones were selected for further study. One HI72A1, produced antibodies that bound to t-PA and strongly inhibited its activity, whereas another, LI72D1, produced antibodies that bound to t-PA but did not affect its activity. The specificity of these antibodies was assessed in immunoabsorption experiments. Both immunoprecipitated 125I-labeled t-PA, and both were specific since only t-PA was recognized in conditioned media collected from Bowes melanoma cells cultured in the presence of 3H-leucine. Neither antibody recognized urokinase. t-PA was desorbed from antibody HI72A1-Sepharose columns with 0.5 M NaCl, consistent with its relatively low association constant (Ka = 9.37 × 107 M-1). In contrast, a strong chaotropic agent (i.e., 2 M KI) was required to elute t-PA from antibody LI72D1 columns (Ka = 2.08 × 109 M-1). This latter high affinity antibody was employed to develop an immunoradiometric assay for t-PA having a sensitivity of 0.5 ng/ml.
