Formol gel reaction

As set forth in Section IV, study of the plasma proteins has thrown much light upon such phenomena of clinical interest as edema formation, the elaboration of antibodies, the differentiation of true and biological false-positive reactions for syphilis, the factors affecting the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the formol gel reaction, and many others. The therapeutic potentialities of highly purified normal human plasma albumin and 7-gIobulins, and of protein hydrolysates, are being actively investigated and have found important applications.
