    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Proteomics

    Background:

    • A novel low-molecular weight plasma protein was identified.
    • This protein was isolated from human urine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the newly discovered alpha 1-microglobulin.
    • To investigate its potential role in immune responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation of protein from human urine.
    • Characterization of protein properties (molecular weight, carbohydrate content, electrophoretic heterogeneity).
    • Assessment of interaction with lymphocytes in vitro.

    Main Results:

    • The protein, named alpha 1-microglobulin, has a molecular weight of 26,000 and contains 20% carbohydrate.

  • It exhibits electrophoretic heterogeneity and carries an unidentified brown substance.
  • Alpha 1-microglobulin exists in serum in both free and complexed forms.
  • It appears to interfere with in vitro lymphocyte responses to certain antigens.

    • Conclusions:

    • Alpha 1-microglobulin is a newly identified plasma protein with unique characteristics.
    • Its potential role in modulating immune responses warrants further investigation.
    • The site of alpha 1-microglobulin synthesis requires elucidation.
