Identification of T-kininogen in high and low molecular weight kininogens deficient rat (brown Norway Katholiek strain).
Kinin release in Brown Norway Katholiek (B/N-Ka) rat plasma was compared with those of Brown Norway Kitasato and Sprague-Dawley rats by treating with rat plasma kallikrein, rat urinary kallikrein, snake venom kininogenase and trypsin. B/N-Ka rat plasma yielded no detectable amount of kinin by either plasma kallikrein, urinary kallikrein or snake venom kininogenase, but yielded variable amount of kinin by trypsin. The released kinin was proved to be isoleucylseryl-bradykinin by high performance liquid chromatography and bioassay profiles. B/N-Ka rat plasma formed a precipitation line against antiserum to T-kininogen, but no line against antiserum to HMW kininogen-light chain.
