Radioimmunoassay of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) in Rat Atria

Abstract We describe a solid phase radioimmunoassay for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and its application for measurement of this peptide in homogenates of rat atria. The method uses a synthetic 26 amino-acid fragment (8-33 ANF) of the native peptide. Sample (or standard) are incubated with the rabbit anti-8-33 ANF antiserum in peptide (8-33 ANF)-coated wells. Then an excess of I125 goat anti-rabbit IgG is added. The radioactivity bound is directly proportional to the amount of ANF present. The concentration of immu-noreactive ANF has been found to be about 4 times higher in the right atrium than in the left atrium of the rat.
