The cellular processing of natriuretic propeptides is attenuated in heart disease, resulting in release of a mixture of unprocessed precursor, partially processed fragments, and the bioactive hormone. Here, we report a species-independent method for quantification of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP) and its products irrespective of variable post-translational processing. The processing-independent assay (PIA) was developed raising mono-specific antibodies against the C-terminus of sequence 1-16 in proANP. The assay procedure included plasma extraction followed by tryptic cleavage, which releases the assay epitope from the N-terminal region. The PIA was tested in elderly patients with symptoms of heart failure (n = 450), in pigs with acute myocardial infarction (n = 21), and in normal dogs and dogs with heart failure (n = 77). The epitope specificity permitted reliable measurement in man, dog, cat and pig. In human plasma, the PIA correlated well with an established proANP analysis (r = 0.86, P
