Production of protein HC by human fetal liver explants.
Human fetal lever explants were found to secrete protein HC into the medium in molar amounts comparable to those of albumin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and orosomucoid. Incorporation of a radioactive amino acid from the medium into the secreted protein HC demonstrated de novo synthesis. The secreted protein HC had the same size and electrophoretic mobility as protein HC of plasma and urine and gave a reaction of immunochemical identity with the protein in these biological fluids.
