ON THE CHEMICAL NATURE OF SERUM-GLOBULIN WHICH APPEARS IN INCREASED AMOUNT IN A HEMATOPORPHYRIN RABBIT

Abstract

1. Nitrogen-sulphur ratio of normal serum albumin and globulin in the blood of rabbits is about 16:1.61 and 16:0.78 respectively.
2. The serum-globulin in the blood of a hematoporphyrin rabbit, which is increased by about 50 per cent of the normal value, remains the same in its chemical nature, when viewed from its sulphur content.
The writer wishes to thank Professor S. Kakiuchi for his advice throughout the course of the investigation.
