Usage Information
Abstract
Although variants of sialic acid-free α1-acid glycoprotein have been described in human beings, the mode of inheritance of these types has not been reported previously. With the use of a new technique of immunofixation after agarose gel electrophoresis of neuraminidase-treated whole serum, the present study demonstrates that the types of α1-acid glycoprotein variants in family members are consistent with inheritance as autosomal traits with codominant expression. Gene frequencies have been determined for several ethnic groups. Of a total of 11 maternal-cord serum pairs, seven were discordant types, indicating that the fetus synthesizes α1-acid glycoprotein and confirming a previous report that there is no significant transplacental passage of this protein.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
