Allelic D variants of transferrin in evaluation of alcohol abuse: differential diagnosis by isoelectric focusing-immunoblotting-laser densitometry.

Clinical chemistry - 1 Nov 1994

Bean P, Peter J B

Abstract excerpt

In the diagnosis of alcohol abuse transferrin (Tf) allelic D variants generate false-positive test results for carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) as assessed by their electrophoretic migration patterns. The predominant Tf C1 allele encodes a protein for which the most prevalent isoform has...
