Abstract

Chromatofocusing is used to separate the multiple isoenzyme forms of human serum galactosyltransferase. At least 11 major peaks of activity are observed in normal sera, which are eluted between pH 4.3 and 6.9; a fraction of activity is eluted above pH 7.0. The normal patterns are compared with those obtained with sera from cancer patients and with an ascitic fluid. Chromatofocusing appears as resolutive as agarose isoelectric focusing.
