title: Immunological demonstration of multiple esterases in human eccrine sweat.
abstract: Eccrine sweat collected from the human skin surface contains at least five different esterases. One of them  is a cholinesterase. A non-specific carboxylesterase with the electrophoretic mobility of an alpha-globulin appears to be a serum protein. Besides this, there are two isoenzymes of human origin migrating with the same electrophoretic mobility as gamma-globulins. These two isoenzymes are immunologically identical with a non-specific carboxylesterase occurring in numerous organs and body fluids. Lipase activity could not be demonstrated.
