Starch-gel Electrophoresis of Pig Serum Proteins

Abstract

MANY variations of the original technique of Smithies1 for starch-gel electrophoresis of proteins have been developed, notably the vertical gel2, the discontinuous buffer system3, and two-dimensional applications4,5. The latter method has been used by Ashton6 in examining pig serum proteins; it has one disadvantage in being time-consuming, requiring two electrophoretic runs, and at the most only two samples can be compared at once on normal apparatus.
