Abstract

Thermosoluble proteins have been isolated from normal human serum and urine. The following proteins were identified in both media : tryptophan-rich prealbumin, α 1 -acid glycoprotein, α 1 -antitrypsin, α 2 HS-glycoprotein, Zn-α 2 -glycoprotein, transferrin, hemopexin, β 2 -glycoprotein I, β 2 -glycoprotein III, γG-fragments. Thermosoluble proteins in serum are exclusively related to the above components, while in urine 18% of heat-resistant proteins belong to other tissue proteins. Quantitative determination has shown that α 1 -acid glycoprotein and tryptophan-rich prealbumin constitute the major part of thermosoluble proteins in serum, while α 1 -acid glycoprotein and Zn-α 2 -glycoprotein are the major components in urine.
