Abstract
Water-soluble proteins of human and rat brain have been separated by starch gel electrophoresis. This technique yields results superior to those attained by paper or agar-gel electrophoresis. In human cerebral white matter 14-15 protein bands have been obtained, while 11-12 discrete protein bands have been found in rat brain. In rat brain exsanguinated by intravascular perfusion of normal saline a protein band travelling in the alpha-globulin region is absent, though prominent in unperfused material. Proteins of human white matter have a low concentration of albumin-type protein.
