Abstract
A survey was conducted on the level of conglutinin (K) and immuno-conglutinin (IK) in the sera of apparently healthy man and animals. The conglutinating activity of sheep, goats, pigs, fowls and humans was entirely due to IK. Cattle and buffaloes had both K and IK. Conglutinin was present only in Zebu cattle and buffaloes. There was neither K nor IK in the horses. Human sera had a very low level of IK.
