Clason, S.B. (author), Meijer, P. (author), Kluft, C. (author), Ersdal, E. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)A new automated method, COAMATIC® Plasmin Inhibitor, provides a tool for specific determination of Plasmin Inhibitor activity in plasma. The method is adapted to the ACL 300R, Cobas Mira, MLA 1000C and to the Thrombolyzer. Low plasmin concentrations combined with short incubation times ensure good specificity also in the low range, resulting in...article 1996

Rijken, D.C. (author), Jie, A.F.H. (author), Gaubius Laboratory TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Reteplase is a protein consisting of the kringle-2 and protease domains of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Because intravenous heparin will be used as an adjunct to thrombolytic therapy with reteplase, we investigated the interactions in vitro between heparin and reteplase as well as between heparin and recombinant t-PA (alteplase) as...article 1996

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Several authors have suggested that increased t-PA antigen levels were associated to thrombotic events in coronary, cerebral and peripheral arteries. Baseline and stimulated levels of t-PA in plasma appear highly heritable, therefore, it could be of interest to evaluate the role of genetic variations in the t-PA locus in determining its plasma...article 1996

Kluft, C. (author), Meijer, P. (author), Gaubius Laboratory, TNO-PG, Leiden, Netherlands TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Procedures of blood collection and handling can be different for the various variables in fibrinolysis. Some of them may require adaptation to the progress in assay methodology and in biochemical and physiological knowledge. During the Leiden Fibrinolysis Workshop 6 in 1996, the procedures described in 1990 for tissue-type plasminogen activator ...article 1996

Huisman, L.G.M. (author), van Griensven, J.M.T. (author), Kluft, C. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Standardisation of t-PA antigen and activity assays requires a t-PA standard which ideally is a single preparation suitable for all assays. Most t-PA preparations, however, are not homogeneous; they can contain several forms of t-PA: single-chain and two-chain t-PA, and two glycoforms (I and II). In this study, the behaviour of Actilyse...article 1996

For PAI-1 antigen no, for t-PA antigen only small differences were observed between measurements in citrate and Stabilyte® plasma. For PAP-complexes significant lower (72%) results were obtained when Stabilyte® plasma was applied. This is...article 1996

Box 2215, 2301 CE Leiden, Netherlands TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)We previously showed the involvement of retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) in the induction of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) synthesis by RA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). However, the rather slow onset of this induction of t-PA synthesis suggested an indirect role of RARα. Here, we show that the protein synthesis...article 1996

(author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)The acute release of t-PA was studied in vitro in human endothelial cells from different origin. It proved possible to enhance the amounts of t-PA which can be released by increasing t-PA synthesis, both in vitro, and in vivo in rats. These data suggest the feasibility to induce and (or) enhance acute release of t-PA in man. Chemicals/CAS:...article 1994
