Abstract

Immunoelectrophoretic comparison of maternal and fetal rat serum proteins with antiserum to adult rat serum proteins showed a unique protein in the fetal serum. The fetal protein exhibited in agar gel electrophoresis a variable mobility that was dependent on concentration. The fetal protein reacted strongly with a nonspecific antiserum.
