Determination of blood kinin levels by radioimmunoassay
A radioimmunoassay has been developed which enables measurement of kinin levels in blood of man and dogs. The levels found are not due to production of kinin by kallikrein activation during collection. The material detected by this assay is immunologically similar to synthetic bradykinin (BK) and ha...

Zusammenfassung: | A radioimmunoassay has been developed which enables measurement of kinin levels in blood of man and dogs. The levels found are not due to production of kinin by kallikrein activation during collection. The material detected by this assay is immunologically similar to synthetic bradykinin (BK) and has the same susceptibility to proteolytic enzymes. Levels found in venous blood in man average 0·07 ng/ml (S.D. 0·03 ug/ml). In a dog receiving an infusion of synthetic BK the levels detected downstream from the infusion site rose progressively with increased dose. Dogs show a positive arterio-venous difference across the vascular bed of the hind limb. |
