[Detection of the base level of alpha-fetoprotein in the sera of donors by the electrophoresis-precipitation of polyacrylamide gel method].

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was detected in the sera of adult healthy persons by the method of electrophoresis-precipitation in polyacrylamide gel; it was distinctly determined in about 50% of cases, and its concentration was not over 3ng/ml.
