Serum immunoprotein electrophoresis

Immunoglobulin is a type of antibody-containing globulin, which is the material basis and execution unit of body-specific humoral immune response. Its main function is to have an immune response (conditioning, neutralization, braking, promoting phagocytosis or cytolytic response) with invading pathogenic microorganisms, to protect the body from pathogens; to remove self-antigen substances in the body, participate in immune regulation and maintain the body The internal environment is stable. Under the action of an external DC power source, colloidal particles move in the direction of the cathode or anode in the dispersion medium. This phenomenon is called electrophoresis. Using electrophoresis to separate materials, this technique is also called electrophoresis.
