Thyroid Hormone Binding Proteins in Human Serum Characterized by Immuno-Electrophoresis and Auto-Radiographic Tracings.

Abstract

1-Thyroxine and 1-triiodothyronine are shown to be bound to the same 3 lipoproteins in human serum, i.e., to alpha-2-lipoprotein, alpha-1-lipoprotein, and lipalbumin. The combination of immuno-electrophoresis with tracer technique seems to be the best method for identifying and estimating linkage of organic and inorganic compounds to serum proteins.
