Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation of human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) has been investigated on 1690 unrelated neuraminidase-treated serum samples using isoelectric focusing followed by transfer to nitrocellulose membranes and immunostaining. Three clearly distinct isoelectric focusing patterns, consiste...
