We show that for appropriate choice of the parameters random intersection graphs differ from Gn p in that neither the so-called giant component appearing when the expected vertex degree gets larger than one has linear order nor is the second largest of logarithmic order. We also describe a test of our result on a protein similarity network. 1 Introduction The classical random graph model introduced by Erdos and Rényi in the early 1960s considers a fixed set of n vertices and edges that exist with a certain probability p p n independently from each other. It was shown to be inappropriate for describing real-world networks because it lacks certain features of those . scale free degree distribution and clustering . One of the underlying reasons that are responsible for this mismatch is precisely the independence of the edges in other words the missing transitivity. In a real-world network relations between vertices x and y on the one hand and between vertices y and z on the other hand suggest a connection of some sort between vertices x and z. An intersection graph is a graph on vertex set V where each vertex has a subset of a ground set W assigned and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the assigned sets have a non-empty intersection. We call the ground set W from which the assigned sets are chosen universal feature set and its elements features. Furthermore the set of vertices Vw holding a specified feature w which obviously forms a clique is called feature clique while Wv shall denote the feature set assigned
