– The fibrinolytic activity of human epithelial cells from the buccal mucosa of 5 females and 3 males was investigated using the fibrin slide technique. It was shown that cells from all layers of the squamous epithelium were fibrinolytically active. No sexual differences were recorded. The results are discussed with special reference to their implications for injury to the epithelium.
