Abstract
THE results briefly reported below became apparent during the course of systematic examination of samples of sera from a wide variety of sources. A simple modification1 of the Tiselius electrophoresis apparatus2 was used in conjunction with the Lamm scale method3 of recording the migration of the serum components. On the graphs obtained the approximate area of that portion of the curve representing a particular component was measured and the figures expressed as percentages of the total protein. The protein concentrations are given in the table below.
