Abstract: | It was shown by immunodiffusion analysis that the specific 1-globulin of human pregnancy and the analogous -globulins of other mammals (rats, guinea pigs) possess an individual antigenic structure. Animals of closely related species (rats and mice) were shown to have immunologically similar -globulins, which are evidently synthesized in the placenta, in their blood serum during pregnancy.Department of Biochemistry and Labotatory for Problems in Immunochemistry of Malignant and Embryonic Tissues, N.
