Human conglutinin-like protein

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 1985
The presence in human plasma of a molecule homologous to bovine congtutinin is indicated by the results of biological and immunochemical analysis. The human conglutinin-like protein shows calcium-dependent binding to complement-treated solid phase IgG and immunological cross-reaction with chicken anti-bovine conglutinin.
