Serum paraproteins can be accurately and precisely measured by means of agarose gel electrophoresis and densitometry at 520 nm after staining with Coomassie Brilliant Blue G. The results obtained for this method agree closely with the quantity of paraprotein recoverable from preparative agarose gel electrophoresis. The method is preferable to cellulose acetate electrophoresis stained with Ponceau S.

A simplified methodology for the quantitative electroelution of proteins from polyacrylamide gels is described. After staining with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R 250, the identified bands are excised from the gel and the proteins eluted using a procedure developed for use in conventional tube gel electrophoresis equipment.

SUMMARY Isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel followed by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue was used for the densitometric estimation of ovine prolactin standard and canine pituitary prolactin. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic procedures and isoelectric focusing was found to be a valid technique for the estimation of prolactin and to offer greater technical convenience. The mobility of ovine and canine prolactin was similar in isoelectric focusing and gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of ovine and canine prolactin was found to be 6·17 and 6·61 respectively. Constant levels of prolactin were found in the pituitaries of bitches at oestrus.
