Abstract
THE agar electrophoresis technique developed in this laboratory1,2 has been adapted to two-stage and two-dimensional procedure for demonstrating the micro-heterogeneity of the main protein components of human serum3. Recently, Markham4 reported a method of two-dimensional paper electrophoresis for the separation of mucoproteins. The method is elaborate, and the separations achieved are not satisfactory, diffused zones being obtained as a result of trailing due to adsorption of the proteins on paper at the acid PH. The present communication gives a brief description of a simple method of two-dimensional agar electrophoresis, by which the mucoproteins can be separated into well-defined zones.
