Using a radioimmunoassay for [Arg8]vasopressin(1-8) (des-glycinamide9-[Arg8]vasopressin; DGAVP) endogenous immunoreactive DGAVP (IR-DGAVP) was detected in extracts of plasma prepared from trunk blood of male Wistar rats. The IR-DGAVP was further characterized by reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). One of the two immunoreactive peaks obtained by HPLC coeluted with synthetic DGAVP and did not cross-react in a radioimmunoassay specific for [Arg8]vasopressin(1-9) (AVP). The other showed the chromatographical and radioimmunological characteristics of AVP. Analysis by HPLC of plasma prepared from fresh blood spiked with 3H-AVP indicated that under the experimental conditions employed no DGAVP was formed during extraction. The results indicate that DGAVP is present in rat plasma, possibly as an endogenous metabolite of AVP.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
