Concept explainers
To analyze:
In electrophoretic analysis, if the gel contains two samples of individuals from which one is normal HbA and another has hereditary anemia, no difference is found in the electrophoretic mobility.
The reason behind it is to be described.
Introduction:
Electrophoresis is an experimental approach for separation of protein; the separation can be done on the basis of molecular weight of the protein and shape and charge under the electric field. The protein hasa maximum of
In electrophoresis, low molecular weight protein has low resistance, so it moves faster. The protein with high molecular weight moves slowly. Electrophoresis is a convenient device for an examination of the proteome. It permits separation of a variety of proteins; even proteins with minute differences can separate by this technique.

Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime.
