α <sub>2</sub> HS–Glycoprotein Is Expressed at High Concentration in Human Fetal Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid

The concentration of alpha 2HS-glycoprotein (alpha 2HS), a human homologue of the fetal protein fetuin, has been measured in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of fetuses from 14 to 37 weeks of gestation and in cord blood from newborn babies.
