Abstract
Established lymphoblastoid cell lines and normal peripheral blood lymphocytes were examined for their ability to induce fibrinolysis, a property associated with oncogenic transformation, using a 3H-fibrin plate technique. Fibrinolytic activity showed serum preferences with dog serum being most active. Most cell lines (14/18) induced greater than 40% release, while normal lymphocytes were generally less active. Only one cell line tested released plasminogen activator into the medium. No correlation was shown between fibrinolytic activity and growth in soft agar. Normal rhesus lymphocytes showed fibrinolytic activity in B cell-enriched populations with no evidence of interaction between B cells and T cells.
