The Fibrinolytic Pathway of Human Plasma II. THE GENERATION OF CHEMOTACTIC ACTIVITY BY ACTIVATION OF PLASMINOGEN PROACTIVATOR

Abstract

The conversion of plasminogen proactivator to plasminogen activator by Hageman factor fragments results in the generation of chemotactic activity for human neutrophils. This chemotactic activity can be distinguished from that generated by Hageman factor activation of prekallikrein and is demonstrable in plasma that is genetically deficient in prekallikrein (Fletcher factor deficiency). Both the plasminogen-activating activity and chemotactic activity produced by the interaction of Hageman factor fragments and plasminogen proactivator to yield plasminogen activator were inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) indicating an essential role for the enzymatic site in both these activities. The finding that the plasminogen proactivator tolerated a dose of DFP, which completely inactivated the plasminogen activator, reveals that the active site is protected in the precursor protein.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
