Localization of Hæmocyanin on Starch Gel Electrophoretic Patterns

Abstract

USING the Smithies technique1 of zone electro-phoresis in starch gel, Woods et al. 2 have recently demonstrated the occurrence of several hæmocyanin proteins in the blood sera of certain crustacean species. The identification is tentatively based on the occurrence of two or more protein bands of a similar order of mobility and which are extremely concentrated in comparison to the other blood protein components.
