Abstract: | Summary The rôle of several structural and functional factors and of concentration on the cross-reactions of 28 human plasma proteins with their homologues in animal blood was investigated. The Immunological Evolution Group (IEG) system was employed for this purpose as described earlier (Bauer, 1970 a). No interaction of structural factors was detected, while an influence of serum level of the different proteins could not be ruled out with certainty.At least in the case of the 4 immunoglobulins and the 3 complement factors, included in the IEG-system, protein function and evolution show some degree of correlation, indicating the influence of function on molecular evolution in the case of these plasma proteins. |
