Abstract
1. The foetal-specific post-albumin of rat plasma was purified by electrophoresis on a Pevicon block. 2. The sedimentation coefficient, diffusion coefficient and molecular weight were determined for this protein and found to be similar to those of adult rat plasma albumin. 3. Foetal post-albumin and adult albumin were compared immunologically and shown, with rabbit antisera, to share no antigenic determinants, suggesting different genetic control of the production of each. 4. It is suggested that the disappearance of post-albumin in the newborn animal may result from the disappearance of haemopoietic tissue from the rat liver with advancing age.
