1) Circulating plasma proteins measured by the Evans blue dye method increased more than normal level in the first twelve hours of burn shock after a great amounts of blood transfusion in dog. The same tendency was observed in clinical cases.
2) Serum fraction was measured by Sayto-Yoshikawa method. A/G ratio also began to increase in that time, but gradually decreased in the second twelve hours of burn shock and remained low for several weeks in dog.
In clinical cases A/G ratio and γ-globulin percent remained normal while only blood or blood and plasma were transfused in the first few days. But after shock stadium A/G ratio decreased and γ-globulin increased gradually.
3) In most cases serum fraction (A/G ratio, γ-globulin per cent) recovered after nitrogen balance changed positive.
