Disc electrophoresis of plasma proteins of fish. physical and chemical characters; localization of fibrinogen, transferrin and ceruloplasmin in the plasma of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii Richardson)

A literature review of the blood chemistry of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Rich.

“…Whereas some authors advocate using the human electrophoretic pattern (Schlotfeldt, 1975), others reject this practice (Post, 1966;Perrier et al, 1974), because neither the number nor the mobility of the protein fractions correspond in rainbow trout and human sera. Indeed, Post (1 966) demonstrated that in rainbow trout, humoral antibodies migrate in the slowest moving fraction.…”

“…Nevertheless, there is no full comparison with regard to the quantity and character of albumin proportions. The number of albumin fractions recorded on CA and PAA/PAGE carriers fluctuated from one to three (Hara, 1975;Borchard, 1978;Perrier et al, 1974). Kirsipuu (1979) subjected each fraction of the paper electropherogram to a second electrophoresis on PAA/PAGE gel.…”

Distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine and related compounds in various brain regions of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

“…The results are similar to those found in frogs (Badawy and Evans 1976) and rainbow trout fry weighing 13.60 to 49.43 g (Walton et al 1984), but are very different to those reported in mammals. In fish, particularly in rainbow trout, the lack of a link between Try and albumin could be related to the fact noted by Perrier et al (1974Perrier et al ( , 1977 that 0. mykiss albumin has physico-chemical properties different from those of human albumin. Moreover, in fish the percentage of albumin in serum is lower compared to the percentage of total serum protein (Sulya et al 1961).…”

Spectrofluorimetric study of the interaction of methyl-parathion with fish serum albumin

“…In the case of fish plasma protein, the shortage of data makes the establishment of a pattern a quite difficult task, even within the same family (Perrier et al 1974). In addition, the concentration of these proteins can vary at any one time as it is affected by nutritional, physiological, and/or geographic conditions.…”
