In the future, however, the studies should enter a more exciting phase when we shall be exploring unknown territory. Cohn1has discussed a rather new conception of the function of the plasma proteins, namely, their importance as vehicles for the transport of substances of low molecular weight or of water-insoluble lipoids. He has also indicated that it...Bibliography1. COHN EJ: The separation of blood into fractions of therapeutic value, Ann. Int. Med., 1947, xxvi, 341-352. Google Scholar2.
