Abstract: | Albumin (Alb) and transferrin (Tf) polymorphism in plasma of Callithricidae was investigated by means of starch gel electrophoresis. In 52 blood samples of three species (Saguinus mystax, S. oedipus and S. labiatus), four Alb phenotypes (Alb 1, Alb 2, Alb 3 and Alb 2-3) and two Tf phenotypes (Tf 1 and Tf 2) were observed. No Alb variant was found in S. oedipus and S. mystax. |
