title: A glycoprotein precipitate in the blood vessels of kidneys stored in cold homologous blood.
abstract: Dog kidneys were stored three hours at 4 degrees C in heparinized homologous blood. Their histological examination revealed the presence of a homogeneous precipitate in the glomerular capillaries and afferent and efferent arterioles, and histochemical analysis indicated that it consisted of glycoprotein. It is tentatively suggested that the substance is cryoglobulin, a conclusion supported by the disappearance of the deposit on reimplantation of the kidney.
