Abstract

Hypotensive activity of ultralow doses of antibodies to angiotensin II and its receptors was studied on adult NISAG rats with hereditary stress-induced arterial hypertension. Antibodies to C-terminal fragment of angiotensin II receptors produced the most pronounced hypotensive effect, which was reproducible after repeated administration. These antibodies decreased systolic blood pressure by 16.40 +/- 0.62 mm Hg. The most rapid hypotensive effect was produced by affinity purified antibodies to angiotensin II: 2 h after administration of these antibodies systolic blood pressure decreased by 12.80 +/- 5.49 mm Hg. Our results indicate that combination treatment with ultralow doses of antibodies to angiotensin II and its receptors hold much promise for the use in clinical practice.
