Abstract
Summary
1) Dogs were depleted of body proteins by forced hemoglobin production superimposed on a low protein diet. Electrophoretic patterns indicated markedly decreased albumin values and A/G ratios in spite of relatively little change in total plasma proteins. In all instances there were marked increases in total α, β and γ globulins. 2) Anaphylactic reactions following immunization to horse serum were diminished or absent in the depleted animals as contrasted to controls.
