Serum Proteins

Behavior of the Serum proteins in starch-agar-gel electrophoresis

A study of the Electrophoretic Pattern of the serum Proteins

The serum viscosity and the serum proteins.

Equal weights of the various protein fractions in plasma affect the plasma specific gravity equally, whereas weight for weight the fractions exert differing influences on the plasma viscosity. Thus fibrinogen has a greater effect on the plasma viscosity than does globulin, which, in turn, has a greater effect than albumin (Bircher, 1921 ; Naegeli, 1931; Oberst, 1939; Cowan and Harkness, 1947). ...

Serum Proteins in Teyroii)

Abnormalities in the serum proteins have been described in several disorders of thyroid function (Man et al., 1940; Lewis and McCullagh, 1944; Lamberg and Grasbeck, 1955) and in particular in auto-immune thyroiditis, where a raised serum y-globulin has been found (Fromm et al., 1953; Luxton and Cooke, 1956; Skillern et al., 1956; Doniach and Hudson, 1957; Greene et al., 1958; Roitt et al., 1958...

Serum proteins in cancer.

Without doubt the greatest handicap to cancer research has been the small number of quantita tive methods available for measuring the activity of tumors. Until the last decade, with a few excep tions, most notably in investigations with War burg techniques, the science of cancer research was attempting to operate without precise measure ments, a feat commendable in the attempt but clearly ineff...
