TPA Antigen TPA Function |
| Clinical Info |
As the primary mediator of endogenous fibrinolysis, elevated tPA levels are strongly associated with an increased risk of arterial vascular disease and have been shown to indicate risk of future myocardial infarction. |

| Methodology |
Tissue plasminogen activator is bound to the wells of a microtiter plate by anti-tPA monoclonal antibodies. Unbound material is washed out of the wells. Bound tPA converts a chromogenic substrate to produce color. |
