Notes:
Summary Plasminogen activator, secreted by metastatic tumor cells, was strongly inhibited in buffer or tissue culture medium containing physiological concentrations of NaCl. Intact cells, however, expressed strong activity under similar conditions. Thus, if plasminogen activator is involved in invasion and metastasis, the cellular activity, acting as an ectoenzyme, may be more important than secreted enzyme under physiological conditions.
