Abstract
A new low-molecular weight plasma protein was discovered and isolated from human urine by Ingemar Beggård. He named it alpha 1-microglobulin. The protein has a molecular weight of 26,000, contains about 20% carbohydrate, is electrophoretically heterogenous, carries a brown-coloured, unidentified substance, and is present in serum in free, as well as in high molecular weight complexes. alpha 1-Microglobulin seems to interfere with the in vitro response of lymphocytes to some antigens. The site of synthesis of alpha 1-microglobulin is unclear.
