Serumglobuliner som vandrar i gammaområdet vid elektrofores. Gammaglobuliner betraktades tidigare som synonyma med immunglobuliner, eftersom de alla flesta immunglobuliner är gammaglobuliner. Men då vissa immunglobuliner uppvisar elektroforetisk alfa- och betarörlighet har denna syn fått ge vika.
Serum globulins that migrate to the gamma region (most positively charged) upon ELECTROPHORESIS. At one time, gamma-globulins came to be used as a synonym for immunoglobulins since most immunoglobulins are gamma globulins and conversely most gamma globulins are immunoglobulins. But since some immunoglobulins exhibit an alpha or beta electrophoretic mobility, that usage is in decline.
