STARCH GEL ELECTROPHORESIS OF BRAIN ESTERASES

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

Starch-gel electrophoresis of rat-serum proteins.

In 1955, Smithies (1) described a procedure for the separation of human serum proteins by horizontal zone electrophoresis in starch gels. The separation of zones was improved by a later modification to a vertical electrophoresis in which the sample was inserted in the gel, free from supporting medium (2). With these methods, it has been demonstrated that many more protein fractions can be separ...

Caeruloplasmin as demonstrated by starch gel electrophoresis.

Starch gel electrophoresis has demonstrated that graded concentrations of sodium sulphate do not precipitate the serum globulins in any reasonable degree of purity. The use of this form of electrophoresis has shown that caeruloplasmin is associated with a globulin in the Fa(2) position.This technique can be employed as a screening test for patients suspected of suffering from hepatolenticular d...

Distribution of the serum proteins of Syrian hamster as revealed by Starch gel electrophoresis

Electrophoresis of Lactic Dehydrogenase in Borate-buffered Starch-gel

It has been suggested-:" that examination of the serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme pattern may be helpful in identifying tissues affected by disease. Cellular damage to tissues such as myocardium or liver results in characteristic abnormalities in the relative proportions of the 5 LDH isoenzymes demonstrable in serum by electrophoresis in barbituratebuffered agar2•4, starch-grain! and ...
