The present paper describes a radioimmunoassay, in conjunction with an extraction procedure on octadecasilyl silica cartridges, of alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide in human plasma and its application in normal subjects under various postural conditions. The sensitivity of this assay is 1.96 pg/ml. The plasma concentrations of alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide in 18 normal male subjects ranged from 10 to 55 pg/ml. This assay was shown to be reproducible as indicated by the low within- and between-assay coefficients of variation. The plasma alpha-ANP concentration decreased during prolonged storage of the plasma at -20 degrees C or -80 degrees C and its level is also lower in hemolyzed plasma samples. The plasma alpha-ANP concentration is similar in standing and supine position but rose significantly when the subjects were tilted 20 degrees head-down.

D009320 Atrial Natriuretic Factor A potent natriuretic and vasodilatory peptide or mixture of different-sized low molecular weight PEPTIDES derived from a common precursor and secreted mainly by the HEART ATRIUM. All these peptides share a sequence of about 20 AMINO ACIDS.

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.
