We performed capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) on serum specimens from 129 healthy Japanese volunteers, ages 7 to 90 years. Our goal was to estimate the reference ranges for the five major serum protein fractions: albumin, α
1-globulin, α
2-globulin, β-globulin, γ-globulin and for the five minor fractions: in which prealbumin, hemopexin, α
1-acid glycoprotein, α
1-antitrypsin or transferrin predominated. Results by CZE for the above ten fractions correlated well (p<0.001) with the assays by CAE or immunonephelometry for the same protein fraction. Owing to the Gaussian distribution of the data, we can state the reference ranges as the mean ±2SD. For α
1-acid glycoprotein, α
1-antitrypsin and transferrin fractions, reference values were estimated only in terms of percent composition. Our reference values (concentrations in parenthesis) for CZE were albumin, 52.7 to 67.1% (3.9-5.2g/dl); α
1-globulin, 3.6 to 6.8% (0.27-0.52g/dl); α
2-globulin, 4.8 to 9.0% (0.36-0.69g/dl); β-globulin, 8.2 to 13.5% (0.59-1.06g/dl); and γ-globulin, 10.7 to 22.5% (0.73-1.81g/dl); prealbumin, 0.1 to 0.9% (10.7-66.4mg/dl); hemopexin fraction, 1.1 to 2.7% (76-212mg/dl); α
1-acid glycoprotein fraction, 1.3 to 3.4%; α
1-antitrypsin fraction, 2.0 to 3.8%, and transferrin fraction, 3.7 to 6.1%.
