(A) Representative plasma protein electrophoretogram of a human control. Six consistent fractions are identified. Fractions one to six are equivalent to albumin, alpha-1, alpha 2, beta-1, beta-2, and gamma globulins. (B) Representative plasma protein electrophoretogram of a clinically healthy undulate skate (Raja undulata). Seven consistent fractions are identified in the species. Fractions one to seven are equivalent to pre-albumin, alpha-1, alpha 2, beta-1, beta-2, beta-3, and gamma globulins. (C) Representative plasma protein electrophoretogram of a clinically healthy nursehound (Scyliorhinus stellaris). Eight consistent fractions are identified in the species. Fractions one to eight are equivalent to pre-albumin, alpha-1, alpha-2.1, alpha 2.2, beta-1, beta-2, beta-3, and gamma globulins. The bands on the right of each electrophoretogram correspond to a digital gel electrophoresis representation for plasma each sample.
