this study was aimed at the evaluation of the influence of storage under various conditions on the relative concentrations of major protein fractions and their proportion in bovine serum. blood samples were taken from six dairy cattle of a low-land black spotted breed and its crossbreeds. the separated blood serum was fractioned into aliquots. one aliquot was analysed immediately after the sepa...

The objective of this study was to compare the electrophoretic pattern serum proteins in newborn calves, lambs, goat kids and piglets precolostral blood samples. Blood samples were collected within 30 min birth, prior ingestion first colostrum, concentrations total protein fractions analyzed using electrophoresis on agarose gel. size shape electrophoretograms differed among investigated animal ...

Bergg%rd (1) has previously reported the presence of low molecular weight y-globulins in both normal human plasma and urine. Recently, Takahashi and Schmid (2) have succeeded in isolating 3s yr-globulins from Cohn Fraction VI (3) of normal blood. In this paper, the isolation of two groups of low molecular weight y-globulins from normal human plasma and the characterization of one of these, the ...

The serum proteins designated as y-globulins include all proteins of the slowest moving of the several major protein groups seen on serum electrophoresis conducted at alkaline pH (2). Among the y-globulins of normal serum are proteins of differing electrophoretic mobility (3,4), proteins with sedimentation coefficients of 6.6 S and 18 S in the ultracentrifuge (2, 3, 5, 6)) many individual antib...

C URRENT THERAPY for agammaglobulinemia consists of periodic intramuscular injection of commercial y-globulin ( Cohn fraction II ), a preparation containing y0-globulin alone. Agammaglobulinemic patients, deficient in all 3 immune globulins, as well as patients with isolated deficiencies of Ynor -yA-globulin ( dysgammaglobulinemia, ataxia telangiectasia, the Aldrich syndrome’5 ) might be expect...

Bacterial adhesion on implants is a first step in the development of chronic foreign body associated infections. Finding strategies to minimize bacterial adhesion may contribute to minimize such infections. It is known that surfaces with oligo-ethylene-glycol (EG3OMe) or poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG2k) terminations decrease unspecific protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion. However, little is k...

Two classes of 7S gamma-globulins are identified in normal mouse serum and are designated 7S gamma(2)-globulins and 7S gamma(1)-globulins. These two immunoglobulin classes are similar in size. They differ in range of electrophoretic mobility, in specific antigenic determinants, and in genetically determined isoantigens. Four classes of immunoglobulins in mouse serum, i.e. 7S gamma(2)-, 7S gamma...

When human plasma is mixed with testosterone-(3)H and subjected to electrophoresis on paper in glycine acetate buffer at pH 8.6, at least two proteins other than albumin bind the testosterone. In normal women 80.5 +/- 1.9% (SEM) of the recovered radioactivity migrates with the beta-globulins, 7.3 +/- 0.80% with the inter-alpha-globulins, and 4.3 +/- 0.40% with albumin. In normal men the percent...
