Abstract
DETERMINATIONS of the electrophoretic behaviour of human serum amylase1 showed that the largest amount of amylase migrated with the albumin fraction and that a significant amount also migrated with the γ-globulins. Our preliminary observations2 indicated that this was not the case for rat serum. The Delcourts3 found that this was also not true for mouse serum, where about 75 per cent of the total serum amylase migrated with β1- and β2-globulins.
