摘要：

Localization of type 2 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-2) was investigated immunohistochemically in postmortem brain tissue of control subjects and patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both the mouse monoclonal and the goat polyclonal antibodies to PAI-2 stained microglia. Reactive microglia were stained more intensely than resting microglia. PAI-2 may regulate the plasminogen activators and plasmin system in lesions of AD. It is suggested that PAI-2 plays a role for cell migration and matrix breakdown as well as for aberrant neurite outgrowth in senile plaques where persistent microglial activation is observed.
