✦ Synopsis

Blood and serum from 17 Macaca mulatta were analysed for haptoglobins, transferrins, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase, phosphoglucomutase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphohexose isomerase. Compared to the human pattern, the AcPh and the ADA components of macaques are fast moving; AK, PGM, 6-PGD and G-6-PD have almost uniform and similar electrophoretic mobilities; and the Hp, Tf and PHI show differential mobilities. All these macaques possess similar karyotypes. * Aided by UGC Junior Research Fellowship. 1 The choice of the technique depends on the fact that different proteins and enzymes are separated not only because of differences in their electric charges but also according to the differences in their molecular size.
