Abstract: | Summary In this investigation, the authors developed two new procedures: a micromethod for haptoglobin purification and the isoelectric focusing electrophoresis on slab polyacrylamide gel for peptide subtyping. These technics are adapted to the study of large sample series for population genetic surveys. The improvements obtained enabled us to disclose in an easy and highly reproducible way the Hp and 2 peptide chains. Electrophoretic separation of the 2 FS, SS, and FF chains were greatly improved. Their frequencies estimated in a sample already investigated by the conventional PAGE presented higher values than previously described. New Hp and 2 mutants were also detected. For the first time, isoelectric points of the Hp peptides were determined; the values obtained are discussed with regard to their known amino acid structure. |
