Abstract
DISTRIBUTION of haptoglobin types has been investigated in serum or plasma samples from 293 Filipino residents of the Manila area and surrounding provinces. Approximately half the samples were obtained from those submitted to the Manila Health Department Laboratory for serological investigations; the remaining samples, including 46 from cholera patients, came from patients at San Lazaro Hospital. The samples were treated with merthiolate and stored under refrigeration until transported to our laboratory for analysis by a modification of the Smithies vertical starch-gel electrophoresis procedure1.
