Fifteen serum proteins were estimated by linear immunodiffusion in blood samples from children with acute hepatitis. Blood was drawn at the beginning of the disease and three weeks later. The results were compared with results obtained from a group of age-matched normal children. At the beginning of the disease prealbumin and beta-2-glycoprotein I were depressed, whereas alpha-1-acid-glycoprotein, alpha-1-antitrypsin, cerloplasmin and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein were found to be elevated. Alpha-2-macroglobulin, transferrin and beta-lipoprotein showed a significant elevation after three weeks. Beta-1-A/C, IgM and IgG remain elevated during time of observation. Albumin, haptoglobin and IgA were similar in patients and controls and did not change during the period of observation.

Venous blood samples were obtained from 42 children hospitalized for the recurrent episode of scarlet fever: immediately after admission and toward the end of one week's hospitalisation, after a three-week period and at a later control after four months. The 14 specific proteins were simultaneously quantitated in the serum specimens using radial immunodiffusion on antibodyagar plates. Antistreptolysin O titres were also determined and compared with the corresponding immunoglobulin levels. However, the titres showed only minor differences in various stages of illness the course of which was mild and without complications. Serum levels of prealbumin, albumin, alpha2HS-glycoproetin, transferrin and beta 2-glycoprotein I were found decreased at the acute clinical stage. Of the "negative acute phase reactants" prealbumin proved to be the most expressive one. Of a triad of "positive reactants" the largest relative increments showed haptoglobin, its increase was twofold of orosomucoid and that threefold of ceruloplasmin. C-reactive protein was increased almost in two thirds of patients on admission, but normalized in all cases about the end of the first week of penicillin therapy. No significant changes were found for alpha 2-macroglobulin. We could demonstrate significant rise and fall of IgD concentration in serum together with IgG, IgA, and IgM, all manifested the peak values already after one week's hospitalisation. In the recurrent episode of scarlet fever IgA showed significantly minor increments compared with the first illness.

Serum beta2-glycoprotein I of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis was studied by means of single radial immunodiffusion method. There was a significant lowering of beta2-glycoprotein I concentration in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. An inverse proportional correlation was seen between the concentrations of beta2-glycoprotein I and of alpha1-antitrypsin, and between the former and C-reactive protein (CRP) rates in individual specimens. Slightly positive relationship was observed between the concentrations of beta2-glycoprotein I and of alpha2-HS glycoprotein. The beta2-glycoprotein I concentrations in healthy adults were significantly higher than those of previous reports.

The synthesis of various products by a human mammary cell line (BT 20) was studied by incorporation of 14C-labeled amino acids, choline, glucosamine, or galactosamine into nondialyzable materials. These products had molecular weights ranging from less than 12,300 daltons to more than 200,000 daltons. They were analyzed by immunoelectrophoresis and double diffusion in agar. Among the synthesized products, the following proteins were identified: beta2-glycoprotein I, alpha2HS-glycoprotein, alpha2-lipoprotein, actin, beta2-microglobulin, carcinoembryonic antigen, three oncofetal-associated antigens, and various erythrocyte membrane-associated antigens (namely, glycophorin). Synthesis of milk proteins was not detectable. Only the protein moiety of the glycophorin molecule seemed to be synthesized. The beta2-microglobulin was synthesized in an unbound state as well as bound to a glycoprotein whose relationship with the transplantation or tumor antigens must be determined. The three oncofetal-associated antigens were also synthesized in vitro by human fetal tissues and neoplastic and dysplastic human mammary tissues.

A serum protein named agglutinin is able to induce mitochondria to agglutinate. The protein has been purified from human serum by chromatography on DE-52. Sephadex G-200 and immunoglobulin-Sepharose 4B columns. Agglutinin is a glycoprotein that migrates electrophoretically as a gamma-globulin. Its molecular weight was determined to be 50,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Monospecific antiserum prepared against the agglutinin was found to be identical with anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I and agglutinating activity could be adsorbed on anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I-Sepharose 4B columns. Thus, the agglutinin has been identified as beta 2-glycoprotein I. The reaction between mitochondria and agglutinin shows positive cooperativity, which is independent on the stage of purification of agglutinin. The agglutinating activity could be diminished (inhibited) by acidic non-soluble lipids such as oleic acid, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol.

In 92 patients with multiple myeloma and IgG monoclonal proteinemia concentrations of seventeen different serum proteins were specifically determined. Prealbumin, albumin, alpha, HS-glycoprotein, alpha-macroglobulin, transferrin and immunoglobulins IgA, IgM and IgD were significantly decreased in patients with IgG myeloma. On the contrary the means found for the typical acute phase proteins i.e. haptoglobin, orosomucoid and CRP were significantly elevated. No significant differences were demonstrated for less typical acute phase protients, i.e. alpha1-antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin and C3-component as well as for hemopexin and beta2-glycoprotein I. CRP values were strongly elevated in some sera, however in majority of patients they were within the normal limits. Negative correlation was found between monoclonal IgG and the most of the studied proteins inclusive immunoglobulins IgA, IgM and IgD. No correlation was demonstrated between the monoclonal IgG and the triad of typical acute phase proteins. Positive correlation was found between monoclonal IgG and the total serum protein and further among the proteins negatively correlated with monoclonal IgG as well as among the individual acute phase proteins. Explanation of the correlations reported has been suggested.

Anions with strong electro-negative charges, like sulphuric esters of polysaccharides (heparin, dextran sulphate M.W. 15 00), the sodium salt of polyanethol sulfonic acid (liquoid, Roche), anionic detergents (sodium dodecylsulphate, sodium oleate, sodium deoxycholate), and the sodium salt of phosphotungstic acid were added to human serum or citrated plasma. For each compound several final concentrations were adopted, the highest being 4%. By using microimmunoelectrophoresis and numerous specific antisera against human plasma proteins, it was demonstrated that at pH 8.60 anions increase electrophoretic mobility of the following antigens: lipoproteins alpha and beta; fibrinogen; beta 2-glycoprotein I; beta 2-glycoprotein II ; antithrombin III. All reagents utilized do not react with all these proteins; for instance, only detergents accelerate the migration rate of a lipoproteins. Besides, depending on the protein, this or that reagent may be the most active. Thus, in the polysulphate group, heparin has the highest affinity for antithrombin III, liquoid for fibrinogen and dextran sulphate for beta 2-glycoprotein I.

The serum level of beta2-glycoprotein I has been measured in a sample of 532 healthy, unrelated Caucasians resident in Melbourne. The distribution of levels is bimodal but lacks complete separation of the two modes. Samples with levels below 14.0 mg/100 ml are considered to be type I, and those above this level to be type N. The present sample contains 42 subjects of the former phenotype and 490 of the latter. The phenotypes are distributed equally between males and females and between smokers and nonsmokers and are unrelated to age, birth rank, or parental age. The gene frequencies for the Melbourne sample are compared with those found in various European samples. The beta2-glycoprotein I level of type N males is higher than that of females, and smokers have a higher level than nonsmokers. The positive regression of level on age is significant when corrections are made for sex and smoking status. beta2-glycoprotein I level is highly correlated with pseudocholinesterase activity. The pattern of inheritance of phenotypes has been examined in 17 families with a total of 56 children. In all families, this pattern is consistent with the currently accepted mode of autosomal codominant transmission.
