Abstract

The biocolloids of normal urine have been isolated and characterized by free electrophoresis and electrophoresis on filter paper. An average of 133 mg of material was recovered from 24-hour aliquots of normal urine. This material was composed of at least seven components as revealed by free electrophoresis at pH 8.6. Five of these components were similar in electrophoretic mobility to the five serum components. A relatively large amount of material was present which behaved like the acid mucoproteins of normal serum. No lipoproteins were detected. Some of the components of the urinary biocolloids were shown to be derived from human serum γ-globulins by labelling the latter with radioactive iodine.
