Boundary Electrophoresis of Human Parotid Saliva

Abstract

Summary

Six samples of parotid saliva from 5 individuals were subjected to boundary electrophoresis at pH 8.6 in 0.1 ionic strength veronal buffer. Seven peaks were obtained with 2 peaks accounting for 75% of the components. The major peak was essentially stationary with mean mobility of +0.3 × 10^-5 cm² sec.^-1 volt^-1, and comprised 50% of the components. The fastest moving constituent had a mean mobility of -4.18 × 10^-5 cm² sec.^-1 volt^-1.
