The recognition of serum protein alterations in disease has firmly established the value of electrophoresis in laboratory diagnosis during life. The diagnostic role of postmortem serum protein electrophoresis has not become so readily established because of the lack of definitive data pertaining to the limits of serum protein change which occur following death and the difficulties inherent in obtaining such data.
