title: Hepatic synthesis of alpha 2 (acute phase)-globulin of rat plasma.
abstract: Synthesis of plasma alpha(2) (acute phase)-globulin was demonstrated in isolated perfused rat liver obtained from animals showing acute inflammatory reaction to injury. These findings indicate that the liver is a source of the globulin and that appearance of this protein in the serum results from de novo synthesis by the liver rather than from release of performed and stored globulin.
