Background and Objectives: Making stacking gels for polyacrylamide gels in the laboratory by conventional methods is laborious and time consuming. Considering the role of temperature in polyacrylamide gels with respect to electrical resistance and viscosity, we assumed that decreasing the temperature would cause an increase in electrical resistance and viscosity.  Ultimately, a downward tempera...

background: detecting bence-jones protein in urine is essential for determining plasma cell dyscrasia and multiple myeloma. conventionally, acid-heat precipitation assay is used for detecting bence-jones protein in most medical laboratories; however, because of the low accuracy of this test, other more sensitive tests like urine electrophoresis are recommended.  materials and methods: in this s...

the indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. these variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. this study was conducted to evaluate variations in the indian bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2d-page) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation with...

Twenty-three control samples of CSF were analyzed by vertical column electrophoresis on acrylamide gel. Quantitation results using a microdensitometer are presented. The normal protein pattern shows 15 constant bands which coincide in mobility and in many cases in staining pattern with serum proteins. The haptoglobin peaks, except for the band of the 1-1 type and the leading band of the 2-1 typ...

The flat gel acrylamide electrophoresis technique was standardized and applied to the comparison of four species of porcine mycoplasmas. Clear differences were observed between these species, and differences were seen among the strains of Mycoplasma hyosynoviae. The clarity of the patterns and the number of bands developed was influenced by the amount of protein in the extract and the age of th...

Probably the most widely used of techniques for analyzing mixtures of proteins is SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In this technique, proteins are reacted with the anionic detergent, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, or sodium lauryl sulfate) to form negatively charged complexes. The amount of SDS bound by a protein, and so the charge on the complex, is roughly proportional to its size. Common...

D ISCOT1XUOUS ELECT1IO1’HORESIS in polyacrylamide rods has been used for separation of serum proteins (1). In spite of satisfactory resolution in tile rod, the technic renhains cumbersome, and comparison of the closely migrating cOnlpoflents inaccurate. Akroyd (2) reported discontinuous electrophoresis On polyacrylamide gel slab, which alleviates many of the difficulties of the rod. We llave co...
