Title: Protein Electrophoresis
Aim of Experiment: Determination of individual
protein in serum
Theory:
One of the simple techniques for quantitation of serum protein is
their separation into an electric field and this procedure is referred to as
"serum protein electrophoresis" (SPE). Electrophoresis is widely used for
separating protein fractions. In addition to separating albumin from
globulins this technique further fractionates the globulins into four or five
major group: alphal (a1), alpha2 (a2) or betal, beta2 (B1 , B2) and gamma
(Y) globulins.
Electrophoresis is similar in many ways to chromatography, except
that separation is due to the movement of charged particles through an
electric current. If these particles are charged differently they will move
in opposite directions, the positively charged particles to the cathode and
the negatively charged to the anode. In this separation technique a
buffered medium at a fixed pH is essential to ensure that the charge on
the particles and therefore the rate of migration is stabilized.
Electrophoresis is especially used
macromolecular substances such as proteins and lipids, although it is
applicable to many other substances as well. In routine clinical testing the
various protein substances in human serum are separated and quantitated,
enzymes are separated and quantitated, enzymes are separated and
identified, and various hemoglobin fractions are identified. In addition
isolation and quantitation of lipoproteins can also be carried out. The
above substances contain numerous fractions of similar mobility,
therefore, when submitted to electrophoresis, the sharpness of separation
will depend upon the extent to which each fraction is homogeneous in its
migration. Each fraction carries a net charge which varies with the pH of
the environment.
for the separation of
The direction and speed of electrophoresis depends upon several
factors such as (1) net charge of the molecule, (2) size and shape of the
molecule, (3) electric field strength, (4) nature of the supporting medium,
and (5) the temperature of operation. One of the important factors above
is the pH of the buffer solution. The most commonly used pH for protein
electrophoresis is pH 8.6, under these conditions most proteins are
negative and therefore migrate toward the anode.
