Transferrin patterns in the Eastern India in normal and malignant cases.

A series of 200 normal serum samples obtained from healthy blood donors belonging to different religious communities and casters were examined for transferrin phenotypes by vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Of these, 196 showed the common CC phenotype, while 4 showed CD phenotype, without any correlation with the caste or community. In another study involving 102 cases of malignancy, no relationship was observed between th transferrin phenotype and the type of malignancy, except in the case of Hodgkin's disease, which showed B2C phenotype.

Haptoglobin types in cancer patients in comparison with normal populations in the Eastern India.

The distribution of haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes in patients with different types of cancer was compared with those in the normal population, with the aid of vertical disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Hp1 gene frequency (0.0647) of the normal population exhibited only a slight difference from that of the cancer patients, as against previous records. The only appreciable difference was in the range of mobility of the Hp2 bands from the origin in individuals with Hp 2-1 and 2-2 phenotypes.

Acrylamide gel electrophoretic patterns of human serum alkaline phosphatase activity-- a population study in the eastern India.

Akaline phosphatase activity following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of human sera obtained from normal populations in the Eastern India shows a correlation between the presence of p++ phenotypes with the B and O blood groups only in females. The incidence of additional bands in the beta-lipoprotein zone is much higher in female samples than in males. The frequencies of both p++ and p+ henotypes within the different endogamous communities and castes are rather variable. Electorphoresis following heat treatment of sera obtained from pregnant females shows the complete absence of p++ and p+, as also of bands at the beta-lipoprotein zones in them.

Electrophoretic variants of alkaline phosphatase in normal human populations.

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of sera obtained from normal individuals shows an incidence (33%) of double and triple bands of alkaline phosphatase in the beta-lipoprotein zone in addition to the usual ones near beta-globulin. The correlation between the occurrence of a slow moving band in addition to the normal one, of different intensities, p+ and p++ with O and B groups has been further confirmed. No relationship was observed between the width or the number of bands with the total amount of alkaline prosphatase as determined biochemically.

Correlation matrices for palmar dermatoglyphic traits in twins.

Intraclass correlation values have been studied in a sample of 50 MZ and 50 DZ twins with respect to fourteen palmar dermatoglyphic metric traits in binary combinations. The results confirm the general trends already shown in singleton studies. The shape of the palmar surface does not appear to be significantly correlated with other metric traits. Generally speaking, a large independence has been found between the various traits.

Cyclic changes in the uterine phosphatases of Suncus murinus sindensis Anderson, the Indian common house shrew.

Cyclic changes in the phosphatases were studied histochemically in the uterine complex of the female Suncus. Alkaline phosphatase activity showed constant and predictable changes in the various phases of the cycle with the maximum activity during metaestrus. Acid phosphatase and ATPase activities also showed constant changes with moderate activity during diestrus and proestrus but with maximal activities during estrus and metaestrus. No proper localization of the enzyme is discernible in the case of G-1-Pase and G-6-Pase.
