Abstract
Electrophoretic patterns of normal lymph and serum were obtained and compared with those of lymph and serum after the animal was subjected to burns. Normal lymph had the same 4 components as are present in serum:albumin, [alpha]-, [beta]-, and [gamma]-globulin. The pattern obtained from lymph derived from the burned tissue revealed the occurrence of an additional boundary, migrating with half the speed of the [gamma]-globulin. The changes found in serum indicated a slight decrease of the albumin:globulin ratio with an increase in the a-globulin fraction.
