Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) circulating in plasma exists in free forms as well as in tPA-inhibitor complexes. The underlying biochemical mechanism governing coagulation and fibrinolysis involves a controlled cascade of proteolytic reactions characterized by the conversion of serine protease zymogens to enzymes. Depending upon the initiating stimulus, the physiological outcome of these reactions is blood clot formation/dissolution. The relative concentrations of serine protease zymogen, enzyme, or enzyme-inhibitor complex in circulation will vary in accord with the state of vascular damage. Many conventional antigen-based clotting factor-specific immunoassays do not distinguish between zymogen and enzyme. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1-5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Allophycocyanin (APC) is light sensitive. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
