Simple Paper Electrophoretic Method for detecting Macroglobulinæmia

Nature volume 193, pages 1087–1088 (1962)Cite this article

ABNORMALLY high concentrations of macroglobulins are known to occur in a number of disease states1. Detection has depended on certain preliminary tests2,3, at times complicated by either false positive or false negative reactions.
