Abstract
Serum proteins from cord blood of 27 infants of diabetic and 16 infants of normal women of comparable gestational age (38–39 weeks) were studied by immunoelectrophoresis. In accord with our previous finding of elevated serum glycoprotein levels in newborn infants of diabetic mothers, a well-defined precipitation arc in the beta-one globulin region, inside the concavity of the transferrin arc, was identified in these infants as hemopexin, because it (a) stained intensively for carbohydrate, (b) did not bind hemoglobin but did bind hemin, and (c) formed a single benzidine-positive line with anti-hemopexin serum.
