Abstract
THIS book is divided into three parts, of which the first deals with the general physico-chemical properties of serum proteins. The second chapter, considers methods used in the study of serum proteins : electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, colour tests such as the Millon reaction, and finally a series of empirical clinical methods such as the Takata reaction, among them some not in use in Britain. In the third part an account is given of the changes occurring in diseases as revealed by the methods described previously. The fourth chapter groups diseases according to the serum fraction mainly affected by them. The concluding chapters sketch the formation of blood proteins (13 pages) and the therapeutic application of serum fractions (17 pages).
