Abstract

The immunological identity of a uteroglobin-like protein, occurring in respiratory tract secretions and tissue, with uteroglobin from rabbit endometrial secretion is demonstrated. A uteroglobin-like antigen has been localized in bronchial epithelial cells and in bronchioles by immunofluorescence. This secretory protein is, in contrast to the authentic uteroglobin, hormone-independent, as far as estrogens and progesterone are concerned. The possible significance of comparative studies on uteroglobin and the uteroglobin-like antigen is discussed, taking into account cytological, endocrinological, and molecularbiological aspects.
