Abstract
The Laurell ‘rocket’ technique of immunoelectrophoresis has been used to quantitate seven specific serum proteins in a control population of SO healthy persons and in 100 hospital patients. Reference ranges have been established for each protein from data obtained from the control population. For many of the proteins variations due to age and/or sex were observed. Sex hormones, probably oestrogens, were also observed to cause variations in some of the protein concentrations. Data obtained from the hospital patients indicated that further work should prove profitable and could enable specific protein determinations to be useful, both as a diagnostic tool and in following the course of a disease.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in crude oil cause a range of adverse effects in oiled seabirds, one of the most common being hemolytic anemia via oxidative attack of erythrocytes by PAH metabolites resulting in hemoglobin leakage and formation of Heinz bodies. In such cases, haptoglobin and ferritin are up-regulated to sequester free Hb and iron in the circulation. We investigated these plasma proteins as biomarkers of PAH-induced Heinz body hemolytic anemia in oiled seabirds. Concentration ranges of PAHs, HAP and FT in plasma samples were 10-184 ng/ml, 0-2.6 mg/ml and 0-7.6 ng/ml, respectively. Dose-response relationships between plasma PAH exposure and haptoglobin and ferritin (FT) were investigated, and evidence of erythrocyte Heinz body formation studied in 50 oiled common guillemots stranded on the Norfolk Wash coast (East England). Haptoglobin was negatively correlated, and FT was positively correlated with PAH exposure. Heinz bodies were also observed confirming the toxic mechanism causing hemolytic anemia and counts were positively correlated with exposure. Our results support the application of these complementary biomarkers to assess hemolytic effects of oiling in wildlife biomonitoring, which also discriminate the influence of hemolytic versus inflammatory effects in oiled guillemots.

Abstract
The Incstar(R) SPQ II human haptoglobin (Hpt) (Incstar Corporation, Stillwater, MN) immunoturbidimetric assay was validated for the determination of serum and plasma Hpt concentrations in dogs and horses. The anti-human Hpt antiserum supplied with the assay, displayed monospecificity to both dog and horse serum Hpt by immunoelectrophoresis and Western blotting techniques. The automated immunoturbidimetric assay results correlated well with the cyanmethemoglobin binding assay (r=0.953 for canine serum and r=0.941 for equine serum), and had excellent precision at both high and low serum Hpt concentrations (within run and between run coefficients of variation near or less than 5%). The assay was linear in both species by serial dilution of pooled-high serum with pooled-low serum, saline and with Hpt-free serum. Interference from hemolysis (> 25 mg/dl hemoglobin) and lipemia greater than 100 mg/dl caused a false decrease and false increase respectively in Hpt yield with the immunoturbidimetric assay. The anti-Hpt antibody supplied with the assay kit, once diluted with polymer diluent and stored at 4 degrees C, was stable for up to 6 days and gave consistent results.

Abstract
Tooth fragments freshly extracted from humans were stored for various times and temperatures under both dry and moist conditions. The fragments were reduced to powder and proteins eluted. Purified haptoglobin fractions were separated, detected and phenotyped using the Phast Gel electrophoresis system using gradient gels. Haptoglobin phenotypes were demonstrable but became less detectable as time increased.
