“…Our results using cellulose acetate electrophoresis show that in obstructive liver disease the main enzyme activity is found in the t2-globulin fraction with lesser activity in the atl-globulin fraction; the latter fraction is not found in normal control serum. These results are in agreement with previous results employing electrophoretic techniques relying mainlyonthe net charge on the protein molecule, and using, for example, paper ( Pellegrino, 1954), starch block (Rosenberg, 1959;Keiding, 1969), cellulose acetate (Korner, 1962), and agar gel (Wieme and Demeulenaere, 1971). Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis we found that in patients with obstructive liver disease the serum alkaline phosphatase showed a gross increase in the fast liver isoenzyme fraction with the appearance of several other isoenzyme fractions, the major contribution remaining at the origin.…”
