A new method for the detection of the plasminogen activator content of vein walls.
The plasminogen activator content of a vein wall has been measured by estimating the radio-activity released from a 125I-tagged fibrin clot by incubating that clot with a known weight of the vein wall. This method could be used in the investigation of the fibrinolytic system of the body in its normal distribution and in the diseases of the vascular system.
