Untreated p u l m o n a r y sarcoidosis is associated with an increased level of serum angiotensinconverting enzyme (SACE), which is regarded as a valuable method of diagnosing sarcoidosis and measuring the activity of the disease. The level of SACE in cutaneous sarcoidosis or other skin diseases ha

Our objective was to measure serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in patients with onchocerciasis. Serum ACE activity is commonly used in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with sarcoidosis. However, serum ACE activity can also be elevated in a number of other granulomatous disord
An analytical method utilizing an automatic amino acid analyzer is described for the separation, identification, and measurement of 5 to 50 nmol of angiotensin I, angiotensin II, [Des-Phe8]angiotensin II, Phe-His-Leu, His-Leu, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. Aminex A-5 cation-excha
A relatively simple procedure is described for purifying human serum angiotensin-converting enzyme. The enzyme was purified 130,000-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity using affinity chromatography as the principal purification step. The ligand was an immobilized competitive inhibitor, D-cysteinyl-L
