title: Permeability of cellophane membranes to parotid during dialysis.
abstract: Pooled paratoid saliva was dialyzed in cellophane membranes against water for periods of up to 1 week and loss of proteins was monitored by acrylamide gel-electrophoresis. A gradual loss of cationic proteins was observed whereas anionic proteins were not appreciably affected. Loss of the cationic proteins could be greatly reduced by performing dialyses against dilute electrolyte solutions rather than water. These effects were attributed primarily to electrostatic changes associated with the dialysis membranes.
