Thirteen human proteins were found in plasma and cystic fluid of mice bearing human testicular yolk sac tumor. Six of them, alpha-fetoprotein, prealbumin, albumin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, hemopexin and transferrin, had been previously demonstrated to be produced by yolk sac tumors. The syntheses of the remaining seven, namely apolipoprotein A1, retinol-binding protein, alpha 2HS-glycoprotein, haptoglobin, apolipoprotein B, C5 component and anti-hemophilic factor, have been demonstrated for the first time.
