THE DETERMINATION OF SERUM PROTEIN FRACTIONS ON FILTER PAPER ELECTROPHEROGRAMS BY THE BIURET REACTION, AND SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE SERUM PROTEINS OF THE ESTROGENIZED IMMATURE PULLET

Abstract
An application of the biuret reaction to the determination of protein fractions on filter paper electropherograms of serum is described. The relative mobilities of the serum protein fractions of the domestic fowl and of man are compared. Values are reported for serum protein fractions as separated by filter paper electrophoresis in a methanolic veronal buffer. Some observations on the serum proteins of the estrogenized immature pullet are reported; and it is tentatively suggested that another fraction as well as serum phosphoprotein appears in the serum of the pullet as a consequence of treatment with estrogen.
