Electrophoretic studies of the serum protein changes in human pulmonary tuberculosis have been reported by Seibert and others since after the earI iest attempt was made by Becquerel and Rodier.There studies showed that as the disease progressed, there were increases in the albumin, and it was suggested that the increase in gamma globulin was due to antibody formation.The present work was carried out in order to confirm the ' findings of Seibert and otht)rs, partic-111arly about pulmonary tuberculosis in Korean, and to establish certain basis for Korean because almost no attempt has been made in this field.FoIIowing resuIts have been obtained through the study on paper electrophoretic patterns of sera in 57 active pulmonary tuberculosis and 16 normal healthy individuals.The experiment group was co nsisted of 45 fresh untreated cases and 12 cases of under treatment.
