Abstract

Cells are identified electrophoretically through isoenzyme analysis. The use of standard and control cells allows semi-skilled workers to achieve reproducible results. A coding sequence is assigned to the cels to be identified using a grid to interpret the electrophoretic separations observed on a series of electrophoretic films, each film being developed for a particular isoenzyme. Comparison of the coding sequence with a compendium of coding sequences for known cells identifies the cells to be identified.
