Abstract
IN a previous communication1, qualitative differences in immuno-electrophoretic pattern of human sera were demonstrated, which were found to be genetically controlled2. On account of a fast-moving precipitating component (group 1), a precipitate with two peaks (group 2) and a slowly moving precipitating component (group 3), all sera hitherto investigated could be grouped into any of these types, including a few sera which were found to lack any haptoglobin as demonstrated by starch-gel and agar-gel electrophoresis1,3. These groups were further found not to be identical with the haptoglobin groups1,3.
