Abstract
Blood samples from Koreans, Chinese, Hungarians and Germans were analyzed by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels and stained for formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) activity. Three activity bands (one major and two minor) were observed in all blood samples studied. No distinct intra- and interpopulation differences were observed in the intensity of the three bands. Human autopsy liver samples also showed a similar three-activity band profile. An additional cathodic band was detected in a single case of autopsy liver extract from a Chinese subject. An apparent identity of FDH with the class III alcohol dehydrogenase was confirmed.
