Abstract
A low molecular weight (9600) glycoprotein was isolated from monkey (Macaca arctoides) extra-parotid saliva by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and Sephadex G-50. Criteria of purity included immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecule contained 76 per cent protein, 23.4 per cent carbohydrate and 0.6 per cent phosphorus. The glycoprotein was a potent inhibitor of calcium phosphate precipitation.
