A new ceruloplasmin variant, Cp Galveston

An undescribed fast-migrating serum ceruloplasmin variant has been detected by acrylamide gel clectrophoresis with a double stain technique for ceruloplasmin and haptoglobin. The serum type migrated identically to ascites fluid ceruloplasmin from one alcoholic cirrhosis patient and three ovarian carcinoma patients.
