Identification and quantitation of human urine proteins by capillary electrophoresis.
Capillary electrophoresis, as a fully automatable, powerful analytical technique, has the potential for use in clinical laboratories for separation and identification of protein types in normal and abnormal human urine specimens. Abnormal urine specimens containing previously identified proteins, anion-exchange resin treatment and addition of known components were used to identify and determine migration times of the peaks found in the electropherogram of human urine. The correlation coefficients between capillary electrophoresis and the currently used method of high-resolution agarose gel electrophoresis for Bence Jones protein and albumin were found to be 0.95 and 0.93, respectively.
