Summary
Time- and cost-saving methods for paternity testing are described. Seventeen genetic systems were divided into six groups: (1) transferrin (Tf), factor B (Bf), and phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1); (2) group-specific component (Gc) or α1-antitrypsin (PI) and α2HS-glycoprotein (HSGA); (3) complement components C6 and C7, factor 13B (F13B), and plasminogen (PLG); (4) haptoglobin (Hp), C8 α-γ chain (C81), and factor I (IF); (5) red cell acid phosphatase (ACP), esterase D (ESD), and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT); and (6) 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) and glyoxalase I (GLO). Each group of systems was typed simultaneously by electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing (IEF) followed by staining or immunoblotting. These methods are very practical because they afford a considerable saving of time, work and expense, and facilitate semipermanent preservation of electrophoretic patterns.
Zusammenfassung
Es werden zeit- und kostensparende Methoden für die Vaterschaftsbegutachtung beschrieben. Siebzehn genetische Systeme werden in sechs Gruppen unterteilt. 1. Gruppe: Transferrin (Tf), Faktor B (BF) und Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1); 2. Gruppe: Gc-System (Gc) oder α1-Antitrypsin (PI) und α-2HS-Glycoprotein (HSGA); 3. Gruppe: Komplement-Komponente C6 und C7, Faktor 13B (F13B) und Plasminogen (PLG); 4. Gruppe: Haptoglobin (Hp), C8 α-γ Kette (C81) und Faktor I (IF); 5. Gruppe: saure Erythrozyten-Phosphatase (ACP), Esterase D (ESD), Glutamat-Pyruvat-Transaminase (GPT); 6. Gruppe: 6-Phosphogluconat Dehydrogenase (PGD) und Glyoxalase I (GLO). Jede Gruppe wurde gleichzeitig mittels Elektrophorese oder isoelektrische Fokussierung (IEF) mit Färbung oder Immunoblotting untersucht. Diese Methoden erwiesen sich in der Praxis als zeit- und kostensparend und erleichtern die vorübergehende Aufbewahrung und Dokumentation der Elektrophorese-Bilder.
