Abstract
IT is now clear that intraspecific serum protein variation is widespread in mammals at least, and that the technique of starch-gel electrophoresis developed by Smithies1 is a powerful tool for revealing these differences. Complex protein patterns have been obtained with sera from horses, due to concomitant variation in several protein systems.
