[The content of the chief amount of myoglobin in the blood serum as an immune complex].

Pooled serum of health blood donors was tested for myoglobin and naturally occurring antibodies to myoglobin containing by competitive enzyme immunoassay. Data obtained show that myoglobin and autoantibodies of myoglobin are present in serum in the form of circulating immunocomplexes. Based on these results the suggestion about elimination of the main quantities of myoglobin by reticuloendothelial system is arisen. Estimated level of myoglobin concentration in the sera of health individuals established by different methods (80 ng/ml) is concerned apparently to free-circulated myoglobin and is not adequate to absolute myoglobin quantities.
