1 The Clinical Application of Paper Electrophoresis in Sarcoidosis* A Preliminary Report NATHAN LEVITT, M.D. Detroit, Michigan We have studied the serum electrophoretic patterns in 25 patients with sarcoidosis. The electrophoretic serum analysis was made by the method of MacDonald et al, 1 normal values in paper electrophoresis are presented in Table I. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established in each case by clinical and laboratory studies, the biopsy showing the usual microscopic picture of non-casting epitheloid cell tubercle present in every case. The serum electrophoretic pattern of these patients with sarcoidosis is described in Table II. The electrophoretograms were characterized by an increase in the alpha 2, beta, and a marked increase in the gamma globulin, while the albumin showed a decrease. These findings were also observed by Sunderman and Sunderman- by Seibert and her co-workers" by Fisher and Davis' and by Harrell and Fisher. We compared the electrophoretograms of patients with sarcoidosis with the electrophoretic patterns of the serum from 31 patients suffering from other diseases. The serum analysis of eight patients suffering from cancer of the lungs revealed a decrease in the serum albumin and an increase in the alpha 2 globulin. This was also observed in five patients with pneumonia. In five cases of tuberculous effusion and in two of pulmonary tuberculosis. The electrophoretic patterns of the serum proteins in six patients with lymphocytic leukemias, monocytic leukemia, aleukemic leukemia and polycythemia revealed an increase in the alpha 2 globulin, and a marked reduction in the gamma globulin. In five cases of congestive heart failure the serum analysis disclosed a reduction in the serum albumin, an increase in alpha 2 globulin and a normal gamma globulin. There were nonspecific changes in the electrophoretic serum analysis of our patients with carcinoma of the lungs, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and congestive heart failure. These changes were characterised by a reduction in the serum albumin and an increase in the alpha 2 globulin. The mean electrophoretic patterns in our 25 patients with sarcoidosis differed from those in the above 31 cases in the following manner. The electrophoretograms were characterized by an increase in the alpha 2, the beta, and a marked increase in the gamma globulin, while the concentrations of the albumin was decreased. The presence of a characteristic mean electrophoretic pattern in sarcoidosis can be of great help in differentiating this disease from tuberculosis, carcinoma of the lungs, and various types of lymphomas, as well as certain granulomatous conditions of known cause, such as leprosy, histoplasmosis, berylliosis and brucellosis. *From the Department of Internal Medicine, Harper Hospital. 243

2 244 NATHAN LEVITT September Electrophoretic patterns of the sera of eight patients with sarcoidosis were studied before, during and after treatment with cortisone and meticorten for a period of two to six months. In three cases an improvement was noted by the disappearance of respirat ory symptoms and a sense of well being experienced by the patients, as well as fa vorable changes in the x-ray examination after three months of steroid therapy. The electrophoretograms showed a reduction in the gamma globulin components in these cases after treatment. Three treated for a period of four months TABLE I NORMAL VALUES OF PAPER ELECTROPHORESIS Normal values of electrophoresis on human serum based on 20 normal adult persons: By per cent By per cent Albumin 50.0 ± /100 ml. ± 0.37 a' globulin 5.3 ± /100 mi. ± 0.11 a" globulin 9.6 ± /100 ml. ± 0.14 B globulin 14.5 ± /100 ml. ± 0.18 G globulin 20.6 ± / 100 mi. ± 0.31 Note: Values by weight are based on total prote in determination by the biuret method.

Because of the improvement treatment was stopped. The electrophoretic pattern in these cases still showed an elevated gamma globulin. Prompt relapse occurred after discontinuing treatment in these three patients. Two with sarcoidosis under treatment with steroids presented an elevated gamma globulin and did not respond well to treatment, however, they improved on increasing the dose of meticorten. The electrophoretic pattern showed a reduction in the gamma globulin. We feel that definite conclusions cannot be drawn at this time because the number of cases is too small and the time of observation too short. Further studies are in progress and the results will be reported at a later date. SUMMARY The electrophoretic patterns of the sera of 25 patients with sarcoidosis were compared with the patterns obtained in 31 persons suffering from other diseases. Only in the cases of sarcoidosis were we able to find a characteristic mean electrophoretic pattern that is a increase in the alpha 2, beta and a marked increase in the gamma globulin while the albumin showed a decrease. Acknowledgments: Our thanks are due to Dr. Plinn F. Morse for his help and advice. We also wish to thank Dr. R. P. MacDonald and the members of the staff for their cooperation.

Solo en los cases de sarcoidosis pudimos encontrar un cuadro electroforetico medio consistente en aumento de las globulinas alfa 2, beta y gama en tanto que la albumina mostro disminucion. RESUME Les traces e:ectrophoretiques d'une serie de 25 malades atteints de sarcoidose ont ere compares aux traces obtenus chez 31 personnes souffrant d'autres affections. Ce n'est que dans la sarcoidose que l'auteur a rtouve un trace electrophoretique caracteristique qui se traduit par une augmentation des alpha 2-g1obulines, des beta-globulines et une augmentation tres nette des gamma-globulines, tandis que J'albumine se trouvait diminuee. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Es werden die elektrophoretische Werte der Seren von 25 Patienten mit Sarcoid verglichen mit den Werten bei 31 Personen, die an anderen Krankheiten litten. Nur in den Fallen von Sarcoid sind wir imstande, charakteristisch elektrophoretische Mittelwerte zu erheben, nlimlich eine Zunahme bei alpha 2, beta und eine betrlichtliche Zunahme bei alpha 2, beta und eine bertlichtliche Zunahme des Gamma-, wlihrend das Albumin eine Abnahme aufweist.
