Paper Chromatography and Paper Electrorheophoresis of Tuberculoproteins

Abstract

PAPER electrophoresis of proteins has on the whole proved to be a more satisfying means of separation than paper chromatography, owing to the physico-chemical properties of the proteins that make them rather unfit for the latter method1,2. Nevertheless there do exist methods of paper Chromatographic separation of, for example, enzymes, blood and serum proteins, mainly based on a kind of adsorption analysis, in addition to the more usual procedures of partition-, ion exchange- and adsorption-chromatography on columns.
