Popis: Summary Homozygous transferrins of adult cattle are made up of two strong pairs and one weak pair of protein bands on starch gel electrophoresis. Foetal transferrins have only the slower band of each pair with the fastest band of the three being much stronger than in the adult type. Before term the second band of each pair begins to develop and at the same time the fastest pair becomes weaker – attaining the adult type by term or soon after. The ai protein, which is present in early foetal life and almost disappears by 250 days of embryonic development, shows individual variation. Its relationship to fetuin is discussed.
