[A proposal of ready-made interpretative comments applicable to serum protein electrophoresis]

Zone electrophoresis for separation and quantification of serum proteins is useful in numerous pathological situations to make clinical diagnostics, to follow the evolution of a disease or to evaluate the efficiency of a treatment. The biologist must apply professional recommendations according to the official nomenclature of biological analysis. He must attach a comment to each result in order to help the physician to perform the best interpretation of the results. To answer those needs, a work of standardization of these comments has been realized by a group of biologists. They are members of the national college of biologists (CNBH). All the commentaries are assembled in a thesaurus which could be a base of ready-made comments, favouring the interpretation of serum protein electrophoresis results.
