[Quantitative study of multimolecular forms of serum gamma glutamyl transferase by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis].
The quantitative distribution of the multimolecular forms of serum gamma-glutamyl-transferase is studied in 286 sera by acrylamide gel electrophoresis, incubation, coloration in situ, photography, slide reading and integration. In 43 normal sera, the fast fraction represents 66% of the total activity; the ratio of the mean fast fraction to the medium and slow fraction was 2. During pregnancy (53 cases), in cord blood (54 cases), in hepatic cytolysis or cholestasis (55 cases), and in secondary liver carcinoma (21 cases), this ratio is considerably lower, demonstrating the predominance of medium and slow fractions. A similar decrease in the ratio, with predominance of the medium and slow fractions was seen in 22 cases of advanced cancer without metastases in the liver.
