Title Urinary proteins in occupational exposure to chemicals and in diseases.
Bibliographic information July 1976, Vol.18, No.7, p.473-476. Illus. 16 ref.
Abstract The advantages of isoelectric focusing over standard methods of analysis of urinary proteins are pointed out. The version of the method used allows study of up to 25 samples on each thin-layer polyacrylamide gel. Separation takes about 1h. A sensitive staining procedure permits detection of 0.1µg protein in each zone, of which more than 20 may sometimes be separated. Evaluation is done by densitometry and classification of patterns.
