• C3 component of complement

  
• binds hemoglobin by its a chain

  
• bacterial meningitis

  
• all of the above

  
• a-2 globulins

  
• the ionization of carboxyl groups, yielding a net negative charge

• the following are some of the steps in the Kjeldahl method of protein determination

  2,1,4,3

  
• multiple myeloma

  
• The serum protein fraction represented by the peak on the left is albumin

  
• this tracing was made by a densitometer

• is a minor a-1 globulins (<50%)

  
• neural tube defects

  
• non-polar

  
• polar

  
• marked increase, decrease

  
• decreased, normal

  
• a-1 proteins include a-1 fetoprotein, a-1 antitrypsin, a-1 antichymotrypsin, inter-a-trypsin inhibitor, a-1 gc globulin, a-1 acid glycoprotein, and a-1 lipoprotein

• B proteins include fibrinogen, transferrin, hemopexin, pre-B-lipoprotein, C-reactive protein, B-lipoprotein, B2-microglobulin, and complement
• epitope - the site on the antigen to whcih the variable region of the antibody binds
• avidity - the degree or measurement of stability of the antigen-antibody complex
• immunogen - the molecule that stimulates the immune response
