L. O’Reilly, 2016 2 Abstract Acute phase proteins (APPs) are proteins synthesised predominantly in the liver, whose plasma concentrations increase (positive APP) or decrease (negative APP) as a result of infection, inflammation, trauma and tissue injury. They also change as a result of the introduction of immunogens such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), turpentine and vaccination. While publications on APPs in chickens are numerous, the limited availability of anti-sera and commercial ELISAs has resulted in a lot of information on only a few APPs.

Labeling of the serum proteins was examined by means of autoradiographs of immunoelectrophoretic patterns as well as by precipitation in the test tubes employing immunospecific antisera. Good correlation was seen between the results obtained by the two different methods. The liver was found to be the only site of many tissues studied that synthesized hemopexin.

Dedication To Ron, my shining sun on cloudy days Abstract Ovomucin is a bioactive egg white glycoprotein responsible for its gel-like properties and is believed to be involved in egg white thinning, a natural process that occurs during storage. Ovomucin is composed of two subunits: a carbohydrate-rich β-ovomucin and a carbohydrate-poor α-ovomucin. N- glycosylation of ovomucin was studied by nano LC ESI-MS, MS/MS and MALDI MS. Both proteins were N-glycosylated and site-occupancy of 18 potential N-glycosylation sites in α-ovomucin and two sites in β-ovomucin was determined.

Research Article Human α1-microglobulin was isolated from the urine of patients with tubular proteinuria, and its molecular weight was established by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 33,000 daltons. The carbohydrate content was 21.7%. Anti-α1-microglobulin serum was prepared and observed to react monospecifically in gel diffusion to purified α1-microglobulin, as well as to normal human serum and urine. Sera from the domestic chicken, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, calf, cow, goat, sheep, and horse, however, did not react to anti-α1-microglobulin serum in immunodiffusion. The lymphocyte culture supernate was found to contain α1-microglobulin. Both thymus-derived(T)- and bone marrow- derived(B)-lymphocyte culture media clearly displayed a specific precipitin line against anti-α1-microglobulin serum when tested with the Ouchterlony immunodiffusion method. The tissue distribution of α1-microglobulin was studied under immunofluorescence, and a positive staining was recognized on the lymphocyte surface. Identical staining patterns were noted on both T and B lymphocytes, though B lymphocytes took a more intense stain. It would thus seem quite possible that lymphocytes are the primary source of α1-microglobulin and that this is filtered through the glomerular basement membrane and partly reabsorbed by the renal tubules. This, then, would suggest the possibility
