Immuno-electrophoretic Demonstration of Differences in Serum Proteins of Newborn Infants of Normal and Diabetic Mothers

Abstract

IN a previous communication we reported that newborn infants of diabetic mothers have raised serum glycoprotein-levels when compared with infants of normal mothers of similar gestational age1. In continuation of this investigation we have subjected the same sera to immuno-electrophoresis in agar gel, using a modification of Scheidegger's micro-method2. Commercially available anti-sera from the Pasteur Institute were used as a mixture from horses No. 223 and No. 224.
