Identification and characterization of some serum proteins of the laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) by crossed immunoelectrophoresis.
Rat (Rattus norvegicus) serum proteins were examined by means of crossed immunoelectrophoresis. We have performed the topographic characterization of prealbumins, albumin, orosomucoid, glycoprotein of Darcy, alpha-macroglobulins, haptoglobin, hemopexin, transferrin and IgG. There are several differences in rat serum in comparison to human serum. This applies, for example, to prealbunins and to Darcy's glycoprotein. The behaviour of these fractions in different conditions is discussed in more detail.
