Abstract

Abstract A method is described that allowed for the resolution of a serum protein moiety not normally present in electrophoretic patterns by conventional methods. A prealbumin fraction detected in sera of children following extensive burns was found to differ immunologically from the prealbumin of normal serum specimens. Comparative studies with two different buffer systems suggest that the prealbumin from sera of burned children may be associated with the increased alpha-2 globulin as observed in the conventional barbital buffer systems. However, specimens studied from other patients demonstrating increased levels of alpha-2 globulin did not result in the resolution of a prealbumin.
