Electrophoretic analysis of plasminogen activators from pig heart and human uterus, plasma and melanoma cells was performed in SDS[sodium dodecyl sulfate]-polyacrylamide gradient slab gels containing plasminogen and casein. Direct visualization of activator activity bands in polyacrylamide gels was achieved after removal of SDS, incubation in buffer, and staining with Coomassie brilliant blue. Tissue activator extracted from pig hearts displayed a MW of 72,000 migrated similarly to activator secreted by human melanoma cells and to 1 activator component present in extracts of human uterus. Immunoadsorption experiments with melanoma cell activator antiserum indicated that these 72-kDa activators are all related immunologically. Human uterus also contained a 2nd activator component with a MW 55,000, which migrated similarly to a higher MW component of urokinase and cross-reacted with urokinase antiserum. The 72-kDa uterine activator component apparently represents a tissue activator and the 55-kDa component represents a urokinase-like activator. A euglobulin solution from venous occlusion plasma displayed multiple bands of plasmin activity in the MW range 85,000-96,000. Two activator components were also present, one of MW 72,000 and another of MW 62,000. The 72-kDa euglobulin activator was adsorbed by MCA antiserum, and this component apparently represents vascular activator. The 62,000 activator also had weak plasminogen-independent caseinolytic activity and was not affected by either melanoma cell activator or urokinase antisera. Conclusions concerning its identity cannot be made at this time.
