The levels of .beta.1H [globulin] and C3bINA [complement component 3 inactivator] were estimated in sera from human fetuses, cord and maternal samples. Both components of complement (C) were detected in fetuses more than 12 wk old. The serum concentrations tended to increase with the gestational age. The mean levels of .beta.1H and C3bINA in cord sera were near 54 and 61% of the mean values in sera from normal adults. Elevated levels of .beta.1H wereobserved in maternal sera at the end of the gestational period. When the levels of .beta.1H and C3bINA were compared with those of 2 other C, it was confirmed that the mean levels of C9 were low in fetal and newborn sera; the serum concentrations of C9 and Factor B were elevated in maternal samples. Newly synthesized .beta.1H was detected in the culture fluids of fetal liver and peritoneal cells, as judged by the incorporation of labeled amino acids and the autoradiography of the specific immunoprecipitates in agar gel.
