1 -Antitrypsin in serum determined by capillary isoelectric focusing
A capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) method using bare fused-silica capillaries filled with polyethylene oxide (PEO) and carrier ampholyte solutions in the pH 3.5±5.0 range has been developed for the identification of alpha 1 -antitrypsin (a 1 AT) phenotypes in human serum. This novel procedure was routinely applied to the study of serum samples of five controls whose a 1 AT phenotype was previously identified and of twelve subjects whose a 1 AT phenotype was unknown. The results obtained allowed us to confirm or identify the a 1 AT phenotype in all sera tested. This procedure seems particularly suitable for identification of a 1 AT variants associated with diseases of clinical relevance.

## Abstract In CIEF analysis, sample peaks can be identified by their relative peak positions (RPP) that are determined using only two internal p__I__ markers. The two internal p__I__ marker peaks should bracket, as close as possible, the sample peaks. The RPP values of the sample peaks are then ca
## Abstract A simple technique for polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing of α~1~‐antitrypsin (PI) using thin, highly cross‐linked gels, restricted pH‐range carrier ampholytes and a separator was developed. This method enables easy typing of all known PI phenotypes including the four PI\*M subtype
