title: A comparison of the isoelectric focusing patterns of red cell phosphoglucomutase separated on an ampholine, ampholine/separator and immobilised pH gradient.
abstract: The isoelectric focusing patterns of red cell phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) separated on Ampholine, Ampholine/separator and rehydratable immobilised pH gradients have been compared. The sharpest and most intense zymograms have been observed on immobilised pH gradients provided that Ampholine was added during the rehydration of the gel. The addition of ampholine in the rehydration of Immobiline plates has been shown to improve the sharpness and intensity of the zymogram obtained and the potential of immobilised pH gradients for PGM typing has been demonstrated.
