Abstract: The present invention is based of the discovery of two modified forms of human platelet factor-4, herein named MPF-4 and CPF-4, which were isolated from serum free culture medium of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peripheral blood leukocytes. Amino acid sequence determination revealed that MPF-4 shares homology with platelet factor-4 beginning at N-terminal residue 17. CPF-4 consists of MPF-4 disulfide bonded to the 16 N-terminal residues of platelet factor-4. Both MPF-4 and CPF-4 are potent inhibitors of endothelial cell proliferation, approximately 10-100 fold more potent than native or recombinant platelet factor-4, making them useful in the treatment of angiogenic diseases.

Abstract: A method for potentiating the activity of tissue plasminogen activator proteins by adding certain amounts of beta-lactoglobulin A is claimed. In particular, the invention includes an enhanced solid-phase immunoassay for measuring tissue plasminogen activator (nt-PA) activity in a mammalian serum sample with sufficient sensitivity to detect neutralizing activity in samples containing .mu.g/ml levels of total nt-PA antibody. Neutralizing activity can be easily detected in serum dilutions containing as little as 0.038 to 0.48 .mu.g of total nt-PA antibody in a 20 .mu.l sample. The assay has a sensitivity of 1 pM of nt-PA (67 pg/ml) in 5 hr.
