"Atrial Natriuretic Factor/*biosynthesis/genetics/immunology"

The characterization of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) expression by primary cultures of atrial myocytes using an ANP-specific monoclonal antibody and an ANP messenger ribonucleic acid probe.

The biochemical and morphological characteristics of primary neonatal rat atrial myocytes were examined in order to establish a model system for future studies of the biosynthesis and secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Preliminary studies …
