ABSTRACT:
A method for the quantitative determination of renin activity in blood utilizing the measurement of Angiotensin I by treating the blood with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the plasma with phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride (PMSF) at a preferred pH to ascertain the full range of concentration where PMSF is effective for accurate and quick determination.
Also, a method for the quantitative determination of renin activity in blood utilizing the measurement of Angiotensin I by incubating the samples after antibody addition at room temperature (23.degree. to 30.degree. C) for 1 to 2 hours and separating the free from the antibody bound species with polyethylene glycol after having treated the blood with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the plasma with phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride (PMSF) at a preferred pH. PMSF offering enough protection against Angiotensin I destruction at room temperature that in combination with polyethylene glycol at a preferred pH the time required for the radioimmunoassay determination is 1 to 2 hours at room temperature instead of 24 .+-. 2 hours at 4.degree. C which takes with charcoal in the presence of other inhibitors and making the system less succeptible to time dependent errors.
