Three murine monoclonal antibodies to tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were evaluated for their effects on the binding of iodinated t-PA to cultured human hepatoma cells (Hep G2), and on extending the half-life of t-PA injected into rabbits. Two of the antibodies, AE5 and EG2, significantly inhibited t-PA binding in vitro, and extended the in vivo half-life of t-PA four to five-fold. A third antibody, BA10, which had a much smaller inhibitory effect on t-PA binding, had no influence in extending t-PA's half-life. MOPC-21, a control antibody not directed to t-PA, had no effect on either test. Our results are the first to correlate different compounds' effects on t-PA binding with their ability to retard t-PA clearance in vivo, and provide additional evidence for the importance of a liver cell receptor in the t-PA clearance process.

Five murine monoclonal antibodies have been produced against the 1-chain form of human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). Affinity constants, calculated from data generated in a solid phase radioimmunoassay, ranged from 4.9 x 10(8)M-1 to 2.3 x 10(9) M-1 for these antibodies. This panel was classified into three groups based on the antibodies' effects on both the plasminogen activation and amidolytic activities of t-PA: complete inhibitors (CD2), partial inhibitors (DB10), and those with limited effects (AE5, BA10 and EG2). This same pattern for the five antibodies was observed in an assay measuring the binding of 125I-t-PA to its fast-acting inhibitor, PAI-1. It is concluded that this panel of antibodies defines at least three domains on the t-PA molecule, including its catalytic site.
