... Levels of tPA were determined in lysates from rat cortices, hippocampi, and mixed-sex astrocyte cultures using a tPA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Innovative Research, Novi, MI) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. Levels of PAI-1 were determined in lysates from rat cortices and mixed-sex astrocyte cultures using a PAI-1 ELISA kit (Innovative Research, Novi, MI) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. tPA and PAI-1 concentrations in the samples were interpolated from their respective standard curves and normalized to total protein content...
