RESUMO

By measurement of its arginine esterase activity, plasma kallikrein was purified from fresh frozen ACD plasma. The steps involved alcohol fractionation, isoelectric precipitation, and carboxymethyl (CM) Sephadex and DEAE cellulose chromatography. Three enzymatically active fractions were finally isolated and termed plasma kallikreins I, II, and III; they represented purifications of 970,320- and 590-fold, respectively. All three kallikreins were active biologically; they increased vascular permeability in the guinea pig and released a kinin from human plasma, as measured in the rat uterus bioassay. Bradykinin and/or closely related kinins were identified in the kallikrein I plasma digest by radioimmunoassay.
