Radioactively labeled preparations were administered intravenously to rabbits. 2. Human Hp and isolated beta (heavy) chain disappeared from the circulation somewhat faster (half-lives = 72 and 67 h, respectively), than homologous rabbit Hp (half-life = 96 h). Hp light chains (alpha 2, alpha 1), devoid of oligosaccharide showed shorter half-lives of 27-19 h. 3. Treatment of Hp with diazotized sulfanilic acid resulted in an appreciable reduction of half-life to 21-11 h, as dependent on the number of modified residues. 4. Asialo-Hp, asialo-beta chain, and asialo-sulfanilazo-Hp were cleared rapidly from the circulation with half-lives of 5.5, 5.0, and 4.2 h, respectively. 5.
