Pedersen in the Department of The Svedberg, the inventor of the analytical ultracentrifuge,
in Uppsala, Sweden. Pedersen showed that raising the density of human plasma with salt
resulted in flotation of a lipid-protein complex with an approximate density of 1.03 kg/L that
migrated with ß-globulins upon electrophoresis. 5 Pederson had attempted to identify the
mysterious “X-protein” observed earlier in the region of the albumin boundary in analytical
ultracentrifugation. He concluded, however, that the complex (the X-protein) readily …
