title: ITI (inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor) phenotyping by immunogold staining.
abstract: Polymorphism of Inter-alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor (ITI) was investigated in 685 unrelated Japanese individuals by isoelectric focusing followed by electroblotting and immunogold silver staining. The allele frequency estimates were ITI*1 = 0.455 +/- 0.013, ITI*2 = 0.516 +/- 0.013, ITI*3 = 0.028 +/- 0.0045 and ITI*4 = 0.001 +/- 0.001 and the phenotype frequencies fitted the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The ITI system could be regarded as a potential genetic marker in paternity testing and anthropological studies.
