Abstract
With one-dimensional electrophoresis or electrofocusing the selective demonstration of proteins and their genetically determined variants from complex compositions like the physiological body fluids often is possible only with specific staining techniques or immunofixation. By the method described here samples are separated by. PAG electrophoresis and a selected detail of the electropherogram is further resolved by PAG electrofocusing. The resulting pattern of bands after a usual protein stain can easily be interpreted due to the reduction of the number of bands. Informative bands hidden in a one-dimensional pherogram by overlapping with one or more other bands can be selectively visualized by the one-dimensional combination of two electrophoretic methods. With the double one-dimensional technique several hundred samples can be analyzed per person day. Thus the application in electrophoretic screening studies appears to be of special interest. The method is demonstrated by using the polymorphism of human serum transferrin as an example. A new variant of Tf-C with a high incidence in the German population is demonstrated.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
