Abstract: Methods for diagnosing pre-hypertension, hypertension, congestive cardiomyopathy, renal failure, salt-sensitivity and adenomas and endocrine cell hyperplasias are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for monitoring hypertension therapy, congestive cardiomyopathy therapy, renal failure therapy and adenoma and endocrine cell hyperplasia therapy. These methods involve using an antibody having binding specificity to ouabain to immunologically measure the level of human ouabain in body fluid or tissue of a subject. Additionally, methods for treating a hypertensive subject by inducing passive or active immunity to human ouabain in the subject are disclosed, along with an antibody having binding specificity for ouabain.

Abstract: A method for the preparation of light-stable water-soluble complexes of antitumor antibiotics and binding protein and the resulting products. The antibiotics are of the anthracycline and anthraquinone classes, as defined. The binding protein is purified apo riboflavin binding protein from eggs. The complexes are prepared by admixing solutions of the antibiotic and protein in substantially equimolar proportions. The complexes are useful for preparing stable aqueous solutions of the antibiotics for oral delivery and for redox titrations of anthracyclines.
