Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ascites from patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma contains high amounts of an activity that increases vascular permeability, as easily detected by a rat skin test. Ascites was fractionated by gel permeation and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographies. The fractions were analysed for permeability-increasing activity. In this way a peptide was isolated and identified as Ile-Ser-bradykinin by sequence and amino-acid analyses. It is identical with T-kinin which has previously been detected as a product of an acute-phase protein, T-kininogen, in rats but never in human material. The so far identified human kininogens, i.e. high- and low-molecular mass kininogens, can only release Met-Lys-bradykinin or its degradations products, as Ile-Ser-bradykinin is not a part of their structure. However, the present results provide evidence that the permeability factor Ile-Ser-bradykinin under certain conditions can be produced in considerable amounts also by human tissues.
