Upon receiving a serum sample for protein electrophoresis,which you perform using agarose gel,you note that the specimen is hemolyzed.How would hemolysis affect the banding pattern of this type of electrophoresis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolysis would release intracellular components, including hemoglobin, which could result in an increase in the F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-globulin band. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Choices A and C are incorrect as they refer to other globulin bands and there is no reason to suspect they would be affected by hemolysis. Choice D is also incorrect as hemolysis would indeed have an effect on the protein bands due to the release of hemoglobin.
