Usage Information
Abstract
Tumors from patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) have been found to contain large amounts of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. A lung tumor from a patient with hyponatremia most likely due to SIADH was removed at surgery and found to contain 23.5 mU vasopressin/g wet weight by radioimmunoassay Slices of this tumor were incubated with phenylalanine-3H. Arginine vasopressin-3H was purified from the incubate by Sephadex G-25 column chromatography in two different systems, performic acid oxidation, and gradient elution column chromatography with diethylaminoethyl Sephadex. As oxidation of vasopressin results in drastic conformational change with breaking of the ring of the cyclic polypeptide and addition of two cysteic acid residues per molecule, the radioactive material which eluted coincident with vasopressin both before and after this procedure was considered to be arginine vasopressin-3H. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of in vitro biosynthesis of vasopressin by a tumor from a patient with SIADH.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
