9. the association of a gain-of-function polymorphism in the PAI-1 promoter region, rs2227631, with lung function is modified by asthma status. The polymorphism is associated with decreased FEV1/FVC ratio and increased prevalence of airway obstruction in Latino and African American subjects with asthma, but it has no effect in healthy controls. PMID: 28543872

13. The personalization of the patients' treatment using uPA/PAI-1 tumor levels allows the reversion of the well-known poor prognostic impact of high uPA/PAI-1 levels and strongly supports the use of this biomarker in clinical practice. PMID: 28685212
14. Plasma PAI-1 levels may be determined by the degree of obesity and triglyceride metabolic disorders. These factors correlate with a decreased LDL-particle size, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis. PMID: 28692480
15. PAI-1 levels are increased in patients with recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL), preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the previous pregnancy, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In general, an increased expression of PAI-1 in the blood is associated with an increased risk for infertility and a worse pregnancy outcome. PMID: 28758928
16. Decreased fibrinolytic activity increased, whereas PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism did not influence venous thrombosis risk in this study. PMID: 28777103
17. PAI-1 -675 4G/5G polymorphism was not associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in this population. PMID: 28838342
18. CCL5, from endothelial cells, acts in a paracrine fashion on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells to enhance their migration, invasion, and metastasis. CCL5, in turn, accelerates TNBC cell secretion of PAI-1 and promotes TNBC cell metastasis, thus forming a positive feedback loop. Moreover, this enhanced metastatic ability is reversible and dependent on CCL5 signaling via the chemokine receptor, CCR5. PMID: 28899878
19. Serum PAI-1 level at the time of traumatic brain injury may serve as a predictive biomarker of late pituitary dysfunction in mild traumatic brain injury patients. PMID: 28931364
20. Adjuvant chemotherapy was 9% less likely to be recommended by a multidisciplinary board when using the current criteria compared with using a combination of the St. Gallen criteria and Ki67 and uPA/PAI-1 status (P = 0.03). Taken together, our data show discordance among markers in identifying the risk of recurrence, even though each marker may prove to be independently valid. PMID: 28954632
21. Our study suggested that SERPINE1 may be a promising therapeutic target for chemoresistance. PMID: 28975405
22. Multiple sclerosis patients were categorized as not cognitively impaired (NCI) and cognitively impaired (CI). The NCI group had a higher percentage of heterozygous subjects but no statistical differences were found between the CI and NCI group. Neuropsychological functioning did not correlate with plasma levels of PAI-1 or its genetic polymorphism. PAI-1 plasma levels were related to neurological impairment. PMID: 29111023
23. PAI-1 and TGF-beta1 promote non-small cell lung cancer tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages and might be valuable targets for cancer immunosuppression. PMID: 29253845
24. The present study shows that mean serum TSH and PAI-1 levels were higher in MetS cases as compared to healthy controls and even higher in MetS cases with SCH as compared to MetS cases without SCH. Thus, it can be summarized that in MetS with the presence of thyroid dysfunction, adipocytes behave abnormally and secrete various adipokines such as PAI-1 which in future may lead to thrombotic complication PMID: 29261514
25. Protease nexin-1 prevents growth of human B cell lymphoma via inhibition of sonic hedgehog signaling. PMID: 29483508

27. The A allele and AA genotype of rs6092 in SERPINE 1 may protect against T2 diabetes, and have a protective effect on waist circumference, but a negative effect on Triglycerides in men, while may contribute to a lower HbA1c level in women. PMID: 29627522
28. results of study have not shown that individual genetic variation in PAI-1 is an independent variable that predispose same of children for renal scarring after first febrile urinary tract infection PMID: 29736094
29. Results demonstrated that EMT could promote the secretion of PAI-1 in the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. TNBC-secreted PAI-1 could increase cell growth, migration and invasion, and the expression of EMT markers in the TNBC cell lines and xenograft mice model. Most importantly, PAI-1 expression is significantly elevated in the breast cancer tissues and associated with prognosis of patients with TNBC. PMID: 29802992

 Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%

Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess.

Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):CV%<10%

Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess. 

 These standard curves are provided for demonstration only. A standard curve should be generated for each set of samples assayed.

 To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of human PAI-1 in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
