[Behavior of serum proteins after experimental liver transplantation in swine]

A typical tendency of the course of the serum proteins is to be observed after experimental liver transplantation. The animals survived the transplantation only a short time if the serum proteins lay below 50 p. c. of the starting value after the transplantation. In animals that survive a longer time 3 groups with characteristic kinds of development are formed. The albumins and the Gc-globulins seem to normalize themselves. Hemopexin and lipo proteins decrease continuously after the transplantation. The "acute-phase-reactants" increase permanently and exceed considerably the pre-operative value.
