RESULTSConcentrations of Proteins in Plasma in Rats during the Acute Phase Response toInflammation-The concentrations of various proteins in plasma or serum were measured at different times after inducing inflammation. The results are shown in Fig. 1. The smallest changes in concentration were found for transferrin. Its level in plasma ranged from 3.5 to 4.5 g/liter in healthy animals and remained in that range 48 h after injection of turpentine. In contrast, the concentration of az-macroglobulin (not included in the figure) increased from 0.014 to 4.5 g/liter, ie 320-fold. The concentration of a,-acid glycoprotein changed from 0.17 to 3.2 g/liter, and that of major acute phase at-protein changed from 0.46 to 7.0 g/liter after 48 h. The serum level of albumin decreased from 35 to 23 g/liter 2 days after inducing inflammation. The maximum of the changes in concentration of plasma proteins occurred at about the same time at which the rate of sedimentation of erythrocytes increased to a maximum value of 20 mm/h compared with 2 mm/h in healthy rats. An increase in the number of leucocytes in the bloodstream started only after 4 days and had not reached its maximum after 6 days. Rates of Incorporation of~-[l-‘~ C] Leucine into Plasma Proteins during the Acute Phase Response-In Fig. 2 the rate of incorporation of radioactive leucine is plotted against the time after inducing inflammation.
