Studies on Plasma Proteins. I. Kala-Azar

Studies on glycosylated plasma proteins in diabetic patients.

The level of glycosylated haemoglobin in the blood is considered as an index of long term blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Glycosylation of structural proteins also occur. The present study describes the levels of glycosylated blood proteins (nonenzymatic) and blood glycoproteins (enzymatic glycosylation) in four groups of diabetic patients (n = 80) as well as non-diabetic control sub...

binding Proteins in Seminal Plasma Transcobalamin II

Study ofcobalamin-binding proteins revealed seminal plasma to be the most concentrated site of transcobalamin II in man. The next richest normal fluid, blood, has approximately one-tenth its concentration. Normal seminal unsaturated cobalamin-binding capacity averaged 15,030±7,290 pg/ml, of which 11,550±6,660 pg/ml was transcobalamin II. Transcobalamin II levels were markedly diminished in subj...

Density of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins in intracellular membranes II. Biochemical studies

Using two independent methods, incorporation of radioactive amino-acid and quantitative immunoblotting, we have determined that the rate of synthesis of each of the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) proteins in infected baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells is 1.2 X 10(5) copies/cell/min. Given the absolute surface areas of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex presented in the companion paper (Griffi...
