β¦ Synopsis
The dependencies of the gel-forming capacity and of the rheological and osmotic properties of gels on the composition of agarose-gelatin-water system are studied. The composition range investigated covers singlephase and two-phase systems. It is corroborated by electron microscopy. The gel point of the ternary systems seems to be lower than that of the binary systems polymer-solvent. The network formation rate depends strongly on thecomposition of the system. Elastic modulus changes nonmonotonously by change of thecomposition. In the single-phase region the elashc modulus increases by concentration increase of the second polymer component and after crossing of the binodal curve it is determined by the competitive phenomenon of the growth of the polymer concentration in one phase due to the water redistribution between the phases and of the increase of the defects in the network of gelled dispersion medium. Mixed gels swell to a greater extent than twocomponent gels.

A gel matrix composed of 0.5 % agarose and 2.5 % polyacrylamide allows the parallel electrophoretic separation of nonreduced IgM and IgG monoclonal antibodies. The mobilities of IgM and IgG differ at pH 9.5, which enables apreliminary Ig class designation. It allows rapid detection of incomplete clo
Electron microscopy has been carried out on sections of beaded agarose with a wide range of thicknesses, and the results have been analyzed by means of stereological theory using computer graphics. The results agree with a randomly orientated system in which, for 4% gels, the mean molecular weight p
## Abstract An electrophoretic technique for the rapid screening of fibronectin from plasma and serum is described. This technique was used to screen nearly 3000 human plasma and serum samples from different racial groups as well as plasma samples from dogs, cats, pigs, goats, mice, donkeys, sheep,
After electrophoresis, DNA can be efficiently recovered by solubilization of agarose gels with NaC104, followed by retention of DNA on glass fiber filters. After removal of the NaCIO, by ethanol, the DNA can be extracted with a low salt buffer.
Reduction of the salt concentration of small volumes (0.1 ml or less) of solutions of macromolecules can be accomplished by placing the solution in a small well in an agarose gel. This technique has been especially useful in preparation of samples for electron microscopy.
