Abstract

Changes produced in distribution of serum proteins of rats by injury were studied using paper electrophoresis. The electrophoretic distribution of glycoproteins was determined by measuring the concentrations of hexosamine in 4 zones, albumin + α1, α2, β, and γ globulins. Parallel elevations of serum hexosamines and proteins which are classified as α2 and β globulins were observed in response to 2 kinds of experimental injury. These increases reached maximum proportions 2 to 4 days after injury.
