Description
Study of the quantitative composition and ratio of various blood serum protein fractions. Total serum protein is represented by albumins and globulins, which are divided into four main fractions: alpha1-, alpha2-, beta- and gamma-globulins. Each fraction consists of various proteins that are similar in their molecular weight, but far from always in their function. Alpha1- and alpha2-globulins include the so-called acute phase proteins, which are markers of inflammatory processes in the body, as well as some specific transport proteins: haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and carrier proteins of some hormones. Beta-globulins contain proteins involved in immune response reactions, as well as such important carrier proteins as transferrin and hemopexin. The gamma-globulin fraction is represented by "immunity proteins" - antibodies (IgA, IgG, IgE, IgM). In various pathological conditions, the ratio and quantity of proteins of certain fractions may change significantly, and in some cases, additional (pathological) protein fractions appear.
