Microheterogeneity of orosomucoid in pathological conditions.

Abstract excerpt

Studies of orosomucoid (alpha 1-acid glycoprotein) in human serum have revealed that orosomucoid is a mixture of molecules with differences in the glycan chains. This microheterogeneity has been studied using crossed affinoimmuno-electrophoresis with the lectin concanavalin A which binds to biantennary glycans. The relative proportions of the three orosomucoid subtypes are altered in various pathological...
