The document summarizes the use of electrophoretic techniques to characterize plasminogen activator isolated from human cell culture broth. Specifically, SDS-PAGE and native gel electrophoresis will be used to determine the molecular size, purity, and activity of plasminogen activator from HEK-293 cells and JURKAT cells. The Laemmli system will be applied using stacking and resolving gels to separate protein samples based on charge and size.
