Serum protein values from clinically normal cats and dogs determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Serum protein electrophoretic values are presented from clinically normal cats and dogs. The Rf values (relative mobilities), relative (per cent) and absolute (g per litre) values for each protein fraction identified are given as means (mean) +/- s (one standard deviation). Electrophoretic Rf values produced by other authors using the same technique are very similar to those presented in this study but several of their relative and absolute values are at variance, as are total protein values using a comparable technique. These values were, however, obtained from animals resident in North America and were probably derived from populations of different breed composition to those used in this work. The environmental and dietary conditions to which these animals were normally subjected were also likely to have been different from those kept in the United Kingdom.
