Physico-chemical characteristics of plasmid DNAs isoalted from Pseudomonas putida G7 were studied as well as the behavior of these DNAs in th eourse of chromatography on columns with Sepharose 4B and kieselguhr with methylated albumin (MAC).

A comparative cost estimate for a production process for extracting albumin from bovine serum in column equipment illustrates the various advantages which may be exploited when using a composite adsorbent in place of a conventional soft gel equivalent.

This effect is not directly related to biliverdin but to unspecific (?) stimulation of peritoneal cavity since the same effect was obtained after administration of unrelated substances (diatomaceous earth, killed bacteria).
When biliverdin is administered i.p., it binds to albumin.

DESIGN AND METHODS: Two methods have been compared: the method of Tamm & Horsfall (T&H; method) consisting in the precipitation of THP by the addition to urine of NaCl up to 0.58 mol/L and the filtration of urine through a diatomaceous earth filter (DEF method) in which THP is selectively trapped because of its gelation/aggregation tendency.
CONCLUSIONS: Although albumin is the most abundant protein in the anomalous urine, it never appears in THP preparations.
