Abstract
Summary
Paper electrophoretic studies showed that the rate of migration of beta-lipoproteins was considerably less at 5°C than at summer room temperature or at 35°C. No effect of temperature was evident in the case of the lipoproteins migrating with the albumin, alpha1-globulin. The rate of movement of the main serum proteins was apparently the same at the different temperatures, but the resolution of the alpha2- and beta-globulins was sometimes less distinct at the higher temperature. The results presented show the importance of using relatively constant temperatures when comparative paper electrophoretic studies are carried out, especially of beta-lipoproteins.
