Abstract

PURPOSE: To study the ability of a novel bovine serum albumin-angiotensin II (BSA-Ang II) conjugate to effect responses of the AT

METHODS: Angiotensin II (Ang II) was conjugated with bovine serum albumin and compared with Ang II for competition binding to AT

RESULTS: The BSA-Ang II conjugate was less potent competing for AT

CONCLUSIONS: Addition of a high molecular weight molecule to Ang II reduced its AT
