Abstract
WHILE examining the variation in time of plasmatic PB131I (normal human subject) after ingestion of an Na131I as a tracer, we have found, in some cases, the existence of a radioactivity ‘peak’ during the first few hours after ingestion. The phenomenon is repeated, whatever the method of separation of the plasmatic proteins: precipitation with trichloroacetic acid; fractioning by ion-exchanger resin1, or in a ‘Sephadex’ column2. Fig. 1 illustrates a typical case.
