title: Polymorphism of blood plasma proteins in the Anser and Branta genera.
abstract: An electrophoretical analysis of blood plasma proteins of eight Anser and two Branta species was performed. Ten polymorphic proteins in blood plasma pattern were distinguished and described: four prealbumin proteins, albumin, three postalbumin proteins, transferrin, and a single posttransferrin protein. Genus-specific and species-specific variants of Pr-1, Al, Pa-3, Pa-X, and Tf proteins were found. The species of Branta differed in Pr-1, Pa-3, Pa-X, and Tf loci. The Anser species differed, apparently, in allele frequencies of described gene loci. A single species-specific protein marker was found in swan geese only. The electrophoretic mobilities of Pr-1, TfB, and PtfA, B, and C were similar for several species of Anser and Branta genera.
