Electrophoretic studies on normal and tetanus immune horse sera

I. On normal horse sera

Abstract

Electrophoretic studies on normal horse sera have been reported by a number of investigatiors. They, however, have been only studied on a few cases of normal horse sera as a control of the some research.
In this paper, the electrophoretic analysis was made on sera of 142 horses in normal condition.
Results:
(1) The fractionation values of sera of 100 horses which were recognized to be in normal conditions were shown in Table 2 and Fig. 1, 2; albumin 41.30%, 3.13g/dl, α-glob 16.95%, 1.32g/dl,
β-glob 18.15%, 1.38g/dl, γ-glob 23.90%, 1.80g/dl, A/G 0.72, A/α-2.51, A/β-2.40, A/γ-1.89.
(2) The fractionation values of normal horse sera of different ages were shown in Table 3; a decrease of albumin was found in sera of horses aged 2, 3 and 4 years, and an increase of β-glob was found in sera of horses aged 1, 2 and 3 years. Some increase of γ-glob was shown in sera of horses aged one year.
