The purification procedure for endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D was improved to yield an enzyme preparation which was homogeneous upon gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography was 280,000, while SDS-gel electrophoresis after reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol gave a value of 150,000. The purified enzyme did not show any chitinase, hyaluronidase or lysozyme activity. In the presence of exoglycosidases removing peripheral sugars, the endoglycosidase acted on serum glycoproteins such as transferrin and fetuin. The enzyme also hydrolyzed an oligosaccharide, (Man)5(GlcNAc)2, indicating that the peptide portion of substrates does not have much effect on susceptibility to the enzyme.

Urinary and serum proteins were studied in 55 patients with extrarenal epithelial carcinoma, using an automated immunopreciptin reaction. The 24 h excretion and renal clearance of 6 high molecular weight proteins: albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, and IgM were significantly increased compared with a control group, implying a glomerular injury. The 24 h excretion of 4 low molecular weight proteins: free lambda and kappa light chains of immunoglobulin, lysozyme, and beta2-microglobulin was significantly increased in patients with disseminated carcinoma compared with patients with localized carcinoma. The serum concentrations of albumin and transferrin were significantly decreased and the serum concentration of haptoglobin significantly increased in patients with disseminated carcinoma compared with patients with localized tumours.

The antimicrobial activity of various proteins and other substances in milk and colostrum is discussed. These factors include antibodies, complement, lactoferrin and transferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme. The possible importance of these factors in protecting the newborn infant against infectious diseases is discussed.

Urinary and serum proteins were studied preoperatively in 48 patients with renal carcinoma, using an automated immunoprecipitin reaction. The 24 h excretion and the renal clearance of albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, and IgM and the 24 h excretion of the immunoglobulin lambda and kappa free light chains and beta2-microglobulin were significantly increased compared with a control group. The excretion of lysozyme was also increased, but not significantly. Increased protein excretion was the most common urinary finding in patients with renal carcinoma. The protein excretion was predominantly of the glomerular type, implying a glomerular injury. The serum concentrations of albumin and transferrin were significantly decreased and the serum concentration of haptoglobin significantly increased in patients with stage III and IV tumours compared with patients with stage I and II tumours. Abnormal serum concentrations of albumin, transferrin, and haptoglobin were indicative for advanced renal carcinoma.

The 24-hour urinary excretion of albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, IgM, free lambda and kappa light chains from immunoglobulin, lysozyme, and beta2-microglobulin has been investigated in 22 patients with febrile diseases, using an automated immunoprecipitin reaction. The average excretion of the 10 proteins was significantly increased in the patients compared with a control group. In patients with body temperature is greater than or equal to 38.5 degrees C the tubular type of proteinuria was significantly increased compared with those with body temperature is less than 38.5 degrees C. Sequential studies in 10 patients showed that the tubular type of proteinuria occurred in all, whereas the glomerular type was demonstrated in 8. when the fever had subsided, the tubular proteinuria disappeared rapidly i in all patients, while the glomerular proteinuria disappeared in only 4 out of 8. It was shown that tubular proteinuria was caused by fever per se, and it is suggested that glomerular prteinuria might be due to an immue response to antigens, derived from the infectious agents, producing a transient or permanent glomerular injury.

The relative clearances of albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, and IgM and the relative excretion of immunoglobin free lambda- and kappa light chains, lysozyme, and beta2-microglobulin were measured in 24 patients who had recently received renal transplants. Eleven out of 13 acute rejection episodes were predicted 1 to 5 days before the clinical diagnosis was made, and in 2 patients the clinical diagnosis of rejection and the prediction were made simultaneously. Successful antirejection therapy was followed by a decrease in protein excretion; in irreversible rejection episodes protein excretion continued to increase in spite of antirejection therapy. It is recommended that the relative clearances of IgG and haptoglobin be measured daily in patients recently treated by renal transplantation.

In 239 apparently healthy subjects the 24-h urinary excretion of albumin transferrin, haptoglobin, IgM, IgG, IgA, immunoglobulin-free lambda and kappa light chains, lysozyme, and beta-2-microglobulin was studied by means of an automated immunoprecipitin reaction. The 24-h excretion of the proteins showed a very uneven distribution. Albumin was excreted in the largest quantities, 1.6-34.2 mg/24 h (0.95 range), and beta-2-microglobulin in the smallest quantities, 0-0.14 mg/24 h (0.95 range). Seven of 10 proteins were excreted in significantly lower quantities in children than in adults.

Using an automated immunoprecipitin reaction, the urinary excretion of albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgM, IgG, IgA, free lambda and kappa light chains from immunoglobulin, lysozyme and beta2-microglobulin has been investigated in 40 long-term bilaterally nephrectomized renal transplant patients. The excretion of the proteins, except lysozyme, was significantly increased in 21 of the paitents with Albustix-negative urine. In patients with glomerulonephritis prior to the transplantation, the excretion of albumin, transferrin, and IgG was significantly increased compared with the other patients. The IgM excretion was significantly increased in patients who had received C and D matches compared with those with A and B matches. Patients with severe surgical complications in the postoperative period had a tubular proteinuria, and in patients surviving more than 60 months after transplantation the excretion of several proteins was significantly increased compared with patients surviving less than 60 months.

An iterative numerical technique is presented which allows the semiaxes for prolate and oblate ellipsoids to be determined from the Perrin equations for rotational and translational diffusion constants. The use of this inversion technique is illustrated by application to the proteins: lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, human transferrin, and bovine rhodopsin solubilized in digitonin.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins with molecular masses of < 150,000 Da were identified by immunoblotting after two kinds of nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). With PAGE 1 (17-27% gradient gel), CSF proteins were clearly separated into seven to nine bands with molecular masses of 3000-67,000 Da; seven bands were identified as beta 2-microglobulin, lysozyme, prealbumin, free kappa and lambda chain, apolipoprotein A-I, glycoproteins, and albumin by immunoblotting. With PAGE 2 (10-20% gradient gel), proteins were clearly separated into 11-16 bands with molecular masses of 15,000-150,000 Da; 11 were identified as prealbumin, free kappa and lambda chain, apolipoprotein A-I, glycoproteins, albumin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, transferrin (separated into two bands), immunoglobulin fragments, haptoglobin, and IgG. We analyzed CSF samples collected from 81 patients with cerebrospinal signs by these SDS-PAGE methods and observed prominent bands in some cases.
