Quantitative immunoelectrophoresis of serum proteins

Electrophoresis

“…Quantitative or semiquantitative measurements of serum proteins can be made on the basis of the diameter (17), the area (1469), or the position (1917) of the precipitation arcs produced by Immunoelectrophoresis. Fractions obtained by gel electrophoresis can be visualized by flooding the electro-phoregram with immune serum (2417); visualization of immunoelectrophoretic patterns is enhanced by flooding the bed with cadmium sulfate solution (2433).…”

Human Prothrombin

“…Prothrombin antibodies were produced in rabbits using the ECTEOLA product mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Standard techniques were employed for immunoelectrophoresis (20).…”

Host Response in Infectious Ocular Disease

“…To minimize this in¬ flammatory side effect, inflammatory sup¬ pression may be considered (Fig 7). This can be achieved by (1) eliminating the stimulus or microbe, (2) eliminating anti¬ body, (3) binding complement,18·19 (4) sta¬ bilizing PMN lysosomes,2023 or (5) debriding necrotic tissue. We have utilized topical steroid drops in immune-competent patients with acute and chronic severe disease in an attempt to minimize2023 the autodigestive effects of hydrolytic enzymes24·25 released from PMN's.20·27 Our preliminary results would indicate that such therapy rapidly decreases the severity of the reaction, short¬ ening the clinical course of disease.…”
