Lyophilic Properties of Isolated Serum-Protein Fractions

Abstract

ELECTROPHORESIS on paper of serum proteins has enabled us to separate small quantities into albumin, and α-, β- and γ-globulin. By using a comparatively thick filter paper (MunktellNr. 20, Grycksbo, Sweden), 58 cm. × 7 cm., we can separate up to 30 mgm. of protein within 24 hr., with 5.5 V./cm. and 16–18 m.amp. applied in a closed atmosphere. As buffer system veronal/veronal sodium is used, of 0.06 ionic strength and pH 8.9. From the two paper strips used simultaneously, only one is stained afterwards with bromphenol blue; this strip serves as a guide for cutting off the fractions from the still wet, unstained strip.
