BACKGROUND. Several investigators have revealed that urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) are overexpressed in serum as well as in tumor tissues in patients with various types of cancer. In this study, we examined whether the serum levels of uPA and uPAR could be used a
Urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI; Mr 40 kDa) is a Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that efficiently inhibits cell-associated trypsin and plasmin activities. The aim of this study is to examine the expression pattern of UTI in the human ovarian carcinoma ascites fluid by Western blotting, zymography, imm
