SummaryA procedure is described for partial purification of an inhibitor of the activation of plasminogen by urokinase and streptokinase. The method involves specific adsorption of contammants, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and preparative electrophoresis. The inhibitor fraction contained no antiplasmin, no plasminogen, no α1-antitrypsin, no antithrombin-III and was shown not to be α2 M or inter-α-inhibitor. It contained traces of prothrombin and cerulo-plasmin. An antiserum against the inhibitor fraction capable of neutralising the inhibitor in serum was raised in rabbits.

SummaryMilk plasminogen-activator was partially purified from human transitional milk collected at about 10 days after delivery, by a five-step procedure involving chloroform treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and column chromatography on Sephadex G-150, CM Sephadex C-50 and DEAE Sephadex A-50. This gave milk-activator with a maximum purification factor of about 2,400-fold with respect to the skimmed milk. The CM Sephadex-step preparation showed, on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a single plasminogen-activator activity band located between the bands of albumin and prealbumin of human serum. This preparation exhibited no kinin forming activity. The activator hydrolyzed acetyl-glycyl-L-lysine methyl ester with similar order kinetic constants to urokinase, and was inhibited strongly by diisopropyl-fluorophosphate. The molecular weight of the activator as estimated by gel filtration was approximately 86,000, the isoelectric points as estimated by gel isoelectric focusing were pH 7.2, 6.9 and 6.6, and the activator activity was not quenched by antiurokinase globulin, indicating that the milk-activator is a different entity from urokinase.

SummaryA method is described for the extraction with buffers of near physiological pH of a plasminogen activator from porcine salivary glands. Substantial purification of the activator was achieved although this was to some extent complicated by concomitant extraction of nucleic acid from the glands. Preliminary characterization experiments using specific inhibitors suggested that the activator functioned by a similar mechanism to that proposed for urokinase, but with some important kinetic differences in two-stage assay systems. The lack of reactivity of the pig gland enzyme in these systems might be related to the tendency to protein-protein interactions observed with this material.

Tissue Thromboplastin

SummaryA method is described for the partial purification of a human plasma factor which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of tissue thromboplastin. This factor may be dried from the frozen state, and may be kept in stable dry form for long periods of time. The quantitative assay of this activity is done in a classical two-stage prothrombin system using tissue thromboplastin and calcium. From its properties, it is concluded that this activity corresponds to factor V, labile factor and plasma Ac-globulin.Chemical and kinetic studies reveal that human factor V is active in plasma and is destroyed by thrombin. Human serum has little or no factor V activity.These results thus fail to support the postulated activation of factor V during clotting. All of the kinetic data are consistent with an enzymatic role for factor V in the formation of tissue prothrombin activator (thromboplastin).

Abstract. In order to examine the newly-discovered sex-steroid binding protein, foetal steroid binding protein (FSBP) in different populations, its binding characteristics and its level were studied by two-tier column ligand binding assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively. In 10 Japanese premenopausal women, analysis of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binding in the Cibacron Blue 3GA-Sepharose 6B portion of the column showed a rising plateau pattern with a mean maximum binding of 31.1 ± 7.41%, whereas of 9 similar British women, 8 displayed unsaturable, non-cooperative binding of 11.6 ± 8.22% (P < 0.01). After partial purification of FSBP in these samples, the protein exhibited saturable binding kinetics, median binding 25 (interquartiles 23–34) and 19 (13–25) nmol DHT/l in Japanese and British women, respectively (P < 0.05). By analyzing FSBP by ELISA in 56 Japanese (45 premenopausal) and 59 British (25 premenopausal) women, higher levels were obtained in the whole Japanese group (P = 0.0016) and in the premenopausal Japanese women (P = 0.018) than in their British counterparts. In both nationalities, FSBP levels were higher in premenopausal women, and there was a significant negative correlation of FSBP with age in both populations, particularly in postmenopausal women. FSBP levels did not correlate with weight, parity, sex hormone binding globulin or albumin levels. The influence of FSBP on free steroid levels remains unclear, but some relationship with ovarian function seems a possibility.
