Electrophoretic Mobility of Serum Fluoride

Abstract

EVIDENCE has been given that there are two types of fluoride in human serum. The observation that 80–90 per cent of the fluoride is not made available as exchangeable fluoride ion until after ashing suggests that it might be bound in some fashion to the serum proteins1. I have therefore determined the distribution of exchangeable and non-exchangeable fluoride relative to the serum proteins, after electrophoresis.
