Antihaemophilic effect of vasopressin, deamino‐(d‐arginine8)‐vasopressin and adrenaline in sheep: proposal for an in vivo assay system

Abstract: Female sheep were used to assay antihaemophilic (factor VIII enhancing) activity of arginine vasopressin, deamino(D-arginine8)-vasopressin (DDAVP) and adrenaline. The time course of the response was biphasic, two surges of factor VIII being observed. DDAVP was found to be the most potent of the substances investigated. Its optimal dose was lpgkg-' body wt (i.v.). It is suggested that a similar procedure can be employed to search for new peptides with antihaemophilic action.

“…In the rhesus monkey desmopressin stimulates the release of FVIII and vWF (Kinter et al 1992) and in the marmoset monkey plasma levels of FVIII and t‐PA were increased after administration of desmopressin (Vilhardt & Barth 1992; Vilhardt et al 1993). In sheep desmopressin has been shown to increase the plasma levels of FVIII after intravenous administration (Heiniger et al 1988), whereas administration of desmopressin to the pig did not induce any changes in the plasma level of vWF (Bowie et al 1986). The pig V 2 receptor has been shown to be markedly less sensitive to desmopressin than rat, bovine and human V 2 receptors (Ufer et al 1995), a finding that could explain the lack of vWF‐release after desmopressin administration to the pig.…”

“…Test plasma, or an F-VIII preparation (see above), was diluted with Owren's veronal buffer pH 7.35 (Baxter Dade), usually in ratios of 1:5 to 1:500. The assay was then performed as described in a previous paper [5]: test plasma was mixed with the reagent F-VIII-deficient plasma (ob tained by immunosorption of normal human plasma; produced by Baxter Dade) in a standard volume ratio. Ellagic acid and cephalin (source of phospholipids; Actin, Baxter Dade) were added, and the mixture was incubated for 4 min at 37°C.…”
