Abstract: Antiserum was raised against kassinin in rabbits. Cross-reactivity with other tachykinins was determined; these included substance K (100%) and substance P (0.1%). Peptides extracted from rat brain and synthetic tachykinins were chromatographed by reverse-phase HPLC. The major peak of kassinin-like material eluted at a time different from that of synthetic kassinin, eledoisin, physalaemin, neurokinin β, and substance P but coeluted with substance K. Measurement of kassinin-like material in macrodissected and microdissected brain regions indicated that the distribution of kassinin-like material was similar to that of substance P.
