Abstract
Summary
Immuno- and paper strip electrophoresis were performed on the sera of 15 healthy individuals and 15 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis. An increase was observed in the alpha1 globulin in 7 patients, in the alpha2M globulin in 9, and in beta2M globulin in 6. Splitting of the anodic extremity of the gamma globulin was more common in the pathological sera than in the controls. No relationship was found between these changes and those observed with paper strip electrophoresis.
We wish to express our appreciation to Dr. W. O. Weigle for his helpful advice and criticism.
