Abstract
Using a pH stat method, we measured the activity of carbonic anhydrase (CA) from dog erythrocytes in the presence of various amounts of dog plasma. A plasma factor appeared to be able to inhibit about 86% of the total CA activity, corresponding to the relative activity of CA II. Naiodoacetate was shown to inhibit the total CA activity up to about 13%, corresponding to the relative activity of CA I. Cl− inhibited the total CA activity up to about 20%, presumably mainly through its strong influence on Ca I. It is concluded that with a degree of haemolysis of up to 3%, no appreciable plasma CA activity will occur.
