✦ Synopsis

A ten month old female Turkish child with chylous ascites, diarrhea, steatorrhea, peripheral edema and hypoproteinemia was investigated for protein losing enteropathy which probably dated from the first weeks of life. Gastrointestinal protein loss appeared to be due to abnormalities of the intestinal lymphatics. In order to detect a localized lymphoenteric fistula, lymphangiography was tried but failed due to hypoplasia of peripheral lymphatics. However, three hours after intradermal injection of Patent Blue, the dye appeared in the stools of the patient, suggesting intestinal protein loss via a lympho-enteric fistula.

This observation may provide the basis for a diagnostic test for gastrointestinal protein loss in patients with intestinal lymphangiectasia.

Low levels of insoluble aggregates in protein formulations can sometimes only be detected by visual inspection. To overcome the subjectivity and other limitations associated with visual inspection, a microscopic technique based on filtration/staining was developed. This method is a simple modificati

## Abstract The McIDAS computer system (Man‐computer Interactive Data Access System) at the University of Wisconsin was used to analyze double‐label autoradiographs of two‐dimensional (2‐D) electrophoresis gels. The 4 samples used to generate the 2‐D gels were obtained from 8 vitamin D‐deficient ra
