Significance of postgamma protein fraction in tears
Abstract:
Tear protein electrophoresis identifies three principal groups of proteins designated as fast-migrating proteins, globulins and postgamma protein fraction. Postgamma fraction represents 32% of total tear protein content and is antigenically constituted by lysozyme as a unique component. The clinical usefulness of determining tear lysozyme content by means of electrophoresis is pointed out.
