The kallikrein kinin system in pulmonary lavage fluid of reserpinized rats.
Kallikrein content in lavage of the respiratory tract was determined by a specific RIA. The results show an immunological identity of the lung kallikrein with the standard rat urinary kallikrein. The levels of immunoreactive lung fluid kallikrein were significantly lower in rats injected with reserpine.
