Presence of Haptoglobin in Synovial Fluid

Nature volume 192, pages 558–559 (1961)Cite this article

Abstract

ELECTROPHORETICALLY classified α- and β-glycoproteins have been shown to be normal constituents of synovial fluid1. Evidence based on immunoelectrophoresis and Cohn fractionation of human traumatic effusions also suggests the presence of most of the serum proteins in synovial fluid2,3. Individual biologically active serum proteins have also been found, namely, some enzymes4, siderophilin3, cærulo-plasmin3, and the thyroxine-binding protein5. The accepted blood-coagulating factors, however, were found to be absent from normal bovine fluid6.
