title: Further explorations of abnormalities in serum proteins following burns.
abstract: This report extends our earlier studies of the abnormal protein bands found in burn sera by use of Western blotting and ion exchange chromatography. The current studies indicated that some of the protein bands contained materials with immunosuppressive activity. One of these materials cross reacted with anti human haptoglobin antibody. Many of the other proteins in the bands were found to be acute phase reactant proteins without immunosuppressive activity. Some proteins in these bands have not yet been characterized or tested for immunosuppressive activity.
