Abstract
THE existence of more than one serum albumin in the horse has been demonstrated by chemical fractionation by several workers. We have now examined human serum in the Tiselius electrophoresis apparatus under conditions designed to detect heterogeneity of the albumin fraction, and find that it consists of at least two components. The experiments were carried out at the high potential gradient of 10·0 volts/cm. in phosphate buffer of pH 8·0 and ionic strength 0·1, and extended up to 26 hours.
