Abstract excerpt

The serum protein transferrin (Tf) is a valuable marker for genetic studies of primates, because it is usually polymorphic, exhibiting as many as 13 allelic forms with high heterozygosity. The standard procedure to detect the different phenotypes requires vertical electrophoresis on polyacrylamid...
