Abstract excerpt

In 332 samples of human parotid saliva collected at random from a Japanese population, the genetic polymorphism of salivary alpha-amylase was detected by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis in a pH range of 5.2-7.2 polyacrylamide gel followed by silver staining. This polymorphism, that was tenta...
