Investigations in patients with thyroid disease led to the discovery of serum factors which react like antibodies with thyroglobulin-containing extracts of human thyroid gland (1, 2). These serum factors have been shown to be among the av-globulins (3). Pressman and colleagues (4) reported that the serum anti-thyroglobulin activity in one patient was associated with the y-macroglobulins. Korngo...

The serum myeloma proteins associated with 20 mouse plasma cell tumors in C(3)H or BALB/c mice that had proved transplantable were characterized by electrophoretic and immunochemical techniques. Although the myeloma proteins ranged in electrophoretic mobility from gamma to alpha globulins, they could be divided into two groups, the gamma type and the beta type myeloma globulins, on the basis of...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of age and sex on the concentration of total serum protein measured by the biuret method and protein fractions determined using cellulose acetate electrophoresis in apparently healthy camels (Camelus dromedarius). Blood samples were collected from 21 camels (12 males and 9 females). The camels were further divided into two groups: 12 young cam...

Lymph nodes and splenic tissue from patients with congenital agammaglobulinemia and dysgammaglobulinemia and from normal subjects were studied with the use of immunofluorescence and histochemical stains to determine the site of synthesis of the 19S gamma(1)-globulins. The two patients with dysgammaglobulinemia had high serum concentrations of the 19S gamma(1)-globulins and a marked deficit of t...

The transition from animal- to plant-derived dietary proteins is of global importance. Plant are normally processed into extracts, and due the type process, globulin class mainly extracted. Such extractions have several waste streams, containing another protein class: albumins. Here, we show that plant albumins good functionality. We compared interfacial foaming properties globulins mung bean, ...

Immune globulins against competent cells of group H streptococci, strains Challis and Wicky, inhibited genetic transformation to streptomycin resistance when added to competent cultures. Antibodies against noncompetent cells did not inhibit transformation of competent cells. Strain Challis is spontaneously highly transformable. Strain Wicky is very poorly transformable but can be converted to h...

A comparison of the appearance of the agglutinins for Bacillus abortus in the blood of new-born calves with the first appearance of globulins in the same blood following the ingestion of colostrum indicates that the agglutinins are associated with the globulins. These observations are supported by the removal of the agglutinins from serum or colostrum with concentrations of sodium sulfate which...

Carswell, F., and Logan, R. W. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48,587. Plasma f,1C-/31A globulins and immunoglobulins in coeliac disease. The plasma /31C-/l3A globulins, IgA, IgG, and IgM concentrations were estimated in 55 untreated children with coeliac disease and in 33 other children. There was a lower level of #,c-/,3A globulins and a higher level of IgA in the plasma of the chil...
