Serum Protein Abnormalities in Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Disease of the Lung

1. A wide variety of chest diseases is associated with a significant dysproteinemia shown by an abnormal protein profile, (SPP). 2. The glycoprotein pattern is a more sensitive indicator of dysproteinemia than the paper electrophoretic pattern of proteins determined with the BPB stain. 3. The paper electrophoretic patterns are the resultant of various changes of individual components of each fraction.
