General description

Cohn fraction IV consists of α and β-globulins. It is a plasma by-product produced during γ-globulin synthesis.

Application

Globulins Cohn fraction IV-4 human has been used in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to test the effect of low-dose ionizing radiation. It has also been used in the preparation of plasma protein solution for biophysical studies.
Globulins may in binding of 5-methoxypsoralen to blood fractions. It may used as positive control for Granulocyte immunofluorescence test (GIFT). It may also used to study the thermal denaturation of mixtures of human serum proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The Cohn fraction IV (α-globin enriched) mediates the inhibition of brain neurotransmitter receptors.

Other Notes

Predominantly α- and β-globulins

The binding of 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) to human serum and blood fractions was studied by equilibrium dialysis associated to high-performance liquid chromatography. 5-MOP serum binding was 95% and kept constant in the range of therapeutic concentrations. Albumin was the main binding

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful antimicrobial oxidant, is produced by neutrophils to fight infections. Here, we show that N-chlorination, induced by HOCl concentrations encountered at sites of inflammation, converts blood plasma proteins into chaperone-like holdases that protect other proteins from
