title: Plasminogen activator production by human monocytes. I. Enhancement by activated lymphocytes and lymphocyte products.
abstract: Human monocytes, but not nylon wool column-nonadherent lymphocytes, produce plasminogen activator. The activity is found only in association with intact cells. Exposure of monocytes to activated lymphocytes or to lymphokine-rich supernatants enhances monocyte plasminogen activator production. The assay allows assessment of baseline and activated human monocyte function.
