Distribution of plasma alpha-1-B-glycoprotein (A1BG) polymorphism in several populations of the Indian subcontinent.

The distribution of plasma alpha 1B-glycoprotein (A1BG) was determined by a two-dimensional electrophoresis (agarose-polyacrylamide gel) followed by protein staining in a group of 1099 individuals from 11 populations of the Indian subcontinent. The sample comprised 454 from several tribes of Arunachal Pradesh; 76 Bengali Hundus and 88 Bengali Muslims; 179 Tamil Hindus from Singapore and 107 from India; 81 Tamil Muslims, 48 Sinhalese from Sri Lanka and 66 North Indians. Three common A1BG phenotypes (1-1, 1-2 and 2-2) were observed in this study.

Polymorphisms of alpha-1-acid (orosomucoid), alpha-2-HS-glycoproteins and alpha-1-B among the Parsis of India.

Genetic polymorphisms of plasma alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (oro-somucoid, ORM), alpha 2-HS-glycoprotein (A2HS) and alpha 1-B-glycoprotein (alpha 1B) were studied in a group of Parsis in Bombay, India. The frequencies of ORM1*1, ORM1*2 and ORM1*3 were found to be 0.636, 0.

Further data on adenosine deaminase polymorphism in pigs and evidence for a new allele.

Evidence was provided for a new erythrocyte ADA allele (Aw) in the Swedish Landrace breed of pigs. The enzyme activity of Aw variant was considerably less than that of the previously reported erythrocyte ADA variants A and B. The mobility of the Aw variant was identical to that of the A variant, both by electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing.

Plasma alpha 1B-glycoprotein allele frequencies in Finns and Swedish Lapps: evidence for a new alpha 1B allele.

A new allele (A1B*5) of human plasma alpha 1B-glycoprotein (alpha 1B) was reported. alpha 1B phenotyping was done by two-dimensional agarose gel (pH 5.4)-horizontal polyacrylamide gel (pH 9.

Three new plasma protein polymorphisms in domestic foxes, detected by a simple method of 2D horizontal electrophoresis.

Plasma samples of 270 foxes from 45 complete families (14 of arctic foxes, 28 of silver foxes and 3 with arctic x silver fox hybrid offspring) were analysed by a method of two-dimensional agarose gel (pH 5.4)-horizontal polyacrylamide gel (pH 9.0) electrophoresis followed by general-protein staining of gels.
