Abstract
WE have investigated by starch gel electrophoresis1, using a technique described in a previous paper2, 28 sera from patients with multiple myeloma, 13 from patients with macroglobulinæmia, 4 sera from cases with atypical dysproteinæmia. In every case a characterization of abnormal serum components was carried out previously, using free-boundary electrophoresis3, analytical ultracentrifuging4, agar gel and immuno-electrophoresis5.
