several species after ultrafiltration to remove tryptophan bound to plasma proteins. The
major portion of the tryptophan was protein-bound in all of the species, although the degree
of binding decreased in the order: dog, rabbit, rat, cat, rhesus monkey, sheep, man, horse,
green monkey, marmoset, cow, pig, guineapig, mouse, turkey, chicken. Thus tryptophan
binding to plasma proteins seems to be a characteristic of many warm-blooded animals.

Abstract
The concentration of tryptophan was estimated fluorometrically in whole plasma from several species after ultrafiltration to remove tryptophan bound to plasma proteins. The major portion of the tryptophan was protein-bound in all of the species, although the degree of binding decreased in the order: dog, rabbit, rat, cat, rhesus monkey, sheep, man, horse, green monkey, marmoset, cow, pig, guineapig, mouse, turkey, chicken. Thus tryptophan binding to plasma proteins seems to be a characteristic of many warm-blooded animals.
