Abstract
TECHNIQUES using two-dimensional electrophoresis for the investigation of the proteins of human serum have been reported in the past1,2. However, these techniques are rarely used because they do not offer advantages over other procedures3. The present communication contains a report of a new two-dimensional technique of paper electrophoresis which was used to achieve a better separation of the proteins of human serum. The same technique was afterwards used to investigate the binding of thyroxine labelled with iodine-131 (T4*) by human serum proteins.
