An Elderly Male Without a Beta-Band on Serum Lipoprotein Electrophoresis

Technique for separating beta-lipoprotein as a distinct band in the serum-protein electrophoretic pattern on a cellulose acetate strip.

Subunit heterogeneity in human serum beta lipoprotein.

The apoprotein of human serum beta lipoprotein has been prepared in a lipid-free and soluble form by a technique of interfacial extraction in the presence of guanidinium hydrochloride and nonionic amphiphile. Gel permeation chromatography of maleylated apobeta lipoprotein separates two protein fractions with different amino acid compositions. The smaller particle has a molecular weight of 2.6 x...

Tubercular Otitis Externa in an Elderly Male- A Case Report

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the most common diseases in developing countries, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Tuberculosis has varied clinical presentations, varying from common primary pulmonary tuberculosis to the extremely rare tubercular otitis externa, as in this case. Tubercular otitis externa has an extremely low clinical incidence.   Case Report: We report the...

Chylothorax: diagnosis by lipoprotein electrophoresis of serum and pleural fluid.

This report describes a 31-year-old woman who underwent a technically difficult left pneumonectomy for tuberculosis and developed thereafter a large left pleural effusion which was milky in colour. A traumatic chylothorax was suspected, and the diagnosis was confirmed by simultaneous fasting pleural and serum lipid studies and lipoprotein electrophoresis. The latter study was especially helpful...

Serum lipoprotein estimation by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis.

A simple, rapid method is described for separating the serum lipoproteins into clear, discrete and reproducible bands by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The sample is prestained with Sudan Black B in a sample gel and resolved by electrophoresis in a discontinuous pH system consisting of a sample gel, concentrating gel and separating gel. 30 young healthy males and 20 young healthy fema...
