title: Effect of rabbit antibodies against angiotensin-II on the pressor response to angiotensin-II and renal hypertension in the rat.
abstract: 1. In the intact or nephrectomized rat, the pressor responses to synthetic angiotensin-II-amide, beta-angiotensin-II and native "rat angiotensin" could be inhibited by intravenous injection of rabbit serum containing antibodies against synthetic angiotensin-II-amide.2. The pressor responses to vasopressin or noradrenaline were not influenced by anti-angiotensin serum.3. A single injection of anti-angiotensin serum inhibited the pressor responses to angiotensin-II-amide for a period of 2.5 hr.4. Intravenous infusion or daily intraperitoneal injection of anti-angiotensin serum did not influence blood pressure levels in renal hypertensive rats.
