title: Simple detection of the inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor (ITI) polymorphism by isoelectric focusing with direct immunofixation.
abstract: The inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI) polymorphism was analysed in a German population, using polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing with subsequent direct immunofixation with monospecific ITI antisera. Gene frequencies of ITI*1, ITI*2, ITI*3, and ITI*4 were calculated to be 0.6150, 0.3753, 0.0078 and 0.0019, respectively. In our study the allele ITI*4 is described for the first time in a German population.
