Isoelectric focusing of group specific component in semen and vaginal stains on ultrathin immobilized pH gradient gels.

Subtyping of the group specific component in secretions of semen and vaginal fluids is impossible with conventional detection systems. By means of a highly sensitive alkaline-phosphatase secondary antibody system the group specific component can reliably be detected in semen stains. Results with vaginal swabs were inconsistent and in saliva stains Gc activity could not be detected.
