Development of a mass spectrometric method to quantitate platelet activating factor in mouse urine.

Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a lipid mediator of inflammation released by a variety of stimulated inflammatory cells. It may be involved in immune glomerulonephritis. Thus, its measurement in urine could give information on the mechanism of this disease. We present here a method to measure PA...
