Purification of canine plasma renin by affinity chromatography.

An affinity column for the purfication of canine plasma renin was prepared using goat anti-renin (dog kidney) gammaG gloublins. The antiserum was prepared against a purified kidney renin preparation. The anti-renin globulins were coupled to cyanogen bromide activated Sepharose. Using the anti-renin globulin-coupled Sepharose as an immuno-adsorbant, a method was devised allowing purification of plasma renin to a 1,000-fold purity.
