Abstract
IN the past few years, analysis of samples from individual animals has revealed variants of many of the blood proteins. In man, for example, hæmoglobin, haptoglobins, transferrins, albumin and several glycoproteins are known to exist in two or more closely related forms, the distribution of which follows a simple hereditary pattern. In milk, β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin show similar polymorphisms.
