Abstract
Summary
Plasma kininogens of a number of mammalian species differed from one another with respect to their antigenic properties detected with antiserum to human plasma kininogens. Precipitating antigenic properties of human plasma kininogens were found only in primates, and nonprecipitating antigens resembling human high molecular weight kininogen only in human and chimpanzee plasmas. Even so, the clot-promoting activity of high molecular weight kininogen was widely distributed among primates and other mammals.
