DIAGNOSTIC-VALUE OF BRIEF MICROZONE ELECTROPHORESIS OF UNCONCENTRATED CSF AND AGAR-GEL ELECTROPHORESIS OF CONCENTRATED AND UNCONCENTRATED CSF

This paper reports a comparison between brief microzone electrophoresis and agar gel electrophoresis of CSF proteins; 41 different CSFs were examined simultaneously by all three methods. Fractionation of γ-globulins was found by brief microzone electrophoresis in 53.7% of unconcentrated CSF. This fractionation was found in 63.4% of unconcentrated CSF after agar gel electrophoresis, in 48.8% of concentrated CSF. Serum-like pherogram and the rapid a-globulin type were found equally often. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
