SummaryGlucocorticoids decrease plasminogen activator (PA) activity in HTC rat hepatoma cells by inducing a specific inhibitor of PA activity (PAI). This inhibitor is similar in several biochemical properties to the PAI purified from bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEs). We have used reverse fibrin autography and antiserum against BAE PAI to establish more fully the biochemical and immunological relationship of these inhibitors. Both inhibitors migrated with an apparent Mr of approximately 50,000, and the activity of both PAIs was stimulated by treatment with SDS suggesting that each of these molecules exists in both an active and a latent form. Antiserum to the BAE PAI immunoprecipi-tated all of the HTC PAI demonstrable by reverse fibrin autography. Finally, using this antiserum in a functional immunoassay, we have demonstrated that dexamethasone increases both active and latent PAI made by HTC cells. These results, indicate that HTC PAI and BAE PAI are antigenically as well as biochemically related molecules.

The immunological relationship of the uncoupling protein from brown adipose tissue of several mammalian species was examined by using a rabbit antibody preparation against the rat protein. Complete cross-reactivity of the antibody to the protein from hamster, mouse, and rat was found, whereas the protein from rabbit cross-reacted only 25%. Cross-reactivity was also found with the human uncoupling protein, although the human protein was found to be about 1 kdalton smaller than the rat protein. No protein of the size of the uncoupling protein was detected in several tumor cell lines examined.
