Human plasma alpha lipoprotein (αLP) was totally delipidated by gel filtration on Sephadex LH-20 in a medium of 2 butanol:acetic acid:H2O, 4:1:5. The resulting alpha protein (αP) exhibited two major bands, labeled C and D, on acrylamide-gel electrophoresis in 5.0 M urea at pH 8.8 or 4.0. Minor bands labeled A and B, also present, were shown to be aggregates of C which form when the latter is lyophilized. The C and D components were isolated in pure form from αP (prepared by LH-20 chromatography of αLP) by gel filtration of this protein on Sephadex G-200 in a medium of 1.0 N acetic acid: the C component emerged with a distribution coefficient (Kd) of 0.4, and the D component with a coefficient of 0.7. From each 100 mg of αP, 68 mg of C and 22 mg of D were isolated. 3 mg of a minor fraction with Kd 0.1, containing A and B components as well as C, were also obtained. D but not C reacts with rabbit antiserum to human αLP. C and D differ substantially in content of arginine, histidine, ½-cystine, isoleucine, and tryptophan.

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.
