Paper and starch-gel electrophoresis of serum proteins of several species and subspecies of poisonous and nonpoisonous snakes of Iran have been investigated. The patterns obtained, especially by means of the starch-gel method, are characteristic for each species. Electrophoretic patterns of samples of serum from different individuals of the same species were very similar.

Abstract Several significant effects of ultrasonic treatment on human serum cholinesterase and aminopeptidase isoenzymes and on other serum proteins have been found by starch gel electrophoresis. The selective activation of one cholinesterase isoenzyme is especially striking. These effects must be considered when ultrasonic treatment is used for the extraction of intracellular enzymes. When the effects are appreciated, ultrasonics should provide a valuable tool for isoenzyme research.

Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to demonstrate two forms of glutathione S-transferase in human erythrocytes. Whereas considerable inter-individual differences in enzyme activity and electrophoretic patterns were detected, intra-individual differences were small.

AbstractTwelve enzymes (encoded by 14 loci) in liver flukes of Fasciola species originating from Japan (parthenogenetic triploids), Korea (parthenogenetic diploids), the United States of America (USA) and Australia (all sexual diploids) were analysed using starch gel electrophoresis. Variation in electrophoretic patterns between samples was detected at five enzyme loci (Ak, Got, Gpi, 6-Pgd and Pgm-2). Japanese worms (31, of which six were established as uniparental laboratory strains), which reproduce by parthenogenesis, exhibited three different isozyme patterns. This indicates that triploidy has arisen more than once in Japanese flukes. Japanese Fasciola sp. can be separated into three types on morphological grounds. For the six laboratory strains of Japanese worms, the parental morphological type was known. Each of the three isozyme patterns observed was restricted to one morphological type. Most alleles detected in the Japanese triploids were also found in diploid worms from the other countries: the only alleles not represented elsewhere were four at the Got locus and two at the Pgm locus. Flukes from a laboratory strain derived from a single Korean diploid worm resembled the Japanese worms in genotype more closely than did American (seven uniparental laboratory strains) or Australian (30 worms) specimens. Worms from the last two countries were closely related.

Histories were extracted at pH 1.7 from washed nuclei of chicken erythrocytes, spleen, liver, and testis and compared by starch-gel electrophoresis at pH 5.0, ionic strength 0.020. Spleen and liver histories displayed the most complex electrophoretic patterns with 18 zones each and differed only in relative proportions of certain zones. Erythrocyte histone contained a characteristic zone while lacking a group present in spleen and liver histones. Testis histone with only seven zones differed markedly from the other three. These results were consistent with chromatograms of erythrocyte, spleen, and liver histones on sodium IRC-50. The suggested correlation of tissue-specific histones with cell differentiation is discussed.

Hemolyzates from the blood of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) at various stages of development were subjected to micro-starch-gel electrophoresis. Three distinct electrophoretic patterns composed of different combinations of 18 hemoglobin tetramers were observed. Embryonic and yolk-sac alevins possessed 1 cathodic and 12 anodic components while fry retained only 3 of the 12 anodic polymorphs. During smoltification, 4 new cathodic components appeared and 2 of the anodic and the cathodic components of alevin hemolyzates reappeared. This latter pattern was retained until the fish spawned and died. Attempts to induce changes in the pattern of development of these hemoglobins by exposing fry and pre-smolts to extreme variations in dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity were completely unsuccessful.
