Isoelectric focusing in agarose: classification of genetic variants of alpha 1-antitrypsin.

Abstract:

:Polyacrylamide has been the matrix of choice for isoelectric focusing owing to the virtual absence of electroendosmosis in this medium. Certain inherent limitations associated with polyacrylamide have prompted some investigators to use low-electroendosmosis agarose for isoelectric focusing, but with limited success thus far. We have developed a method for isoelectric focusing in agarose for the classification of alpha 1-antitrypsin variants. Sera are applied directly to agarose gels containing a pH 4-5 ampholyte mixture, focused for less than 1 h, and directly immunofixed. Resolution of major bands is equivalent to polyacrylamide, and Pi M subtypes can be distinguished without the use of a separator. This application demonstrates the high resolution of isoelectric focusing in agarose, a more practical and convenient matrix than polyacrylamide.

  • Activity assays and immunoassays for plasma Renin and prorenin: information provided and precautions necessary for accurate measurement.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Measurement of plasma renin is important for the clinical assessment of hypertensive patients. The most common methods for measuring plasma renin are the plasma renin activity (PRA) assay and the renin immunoassay. The clinical application of renin inhibitor therapy has thrown into focus the differences in i...
