9 Preface The rapid growth of specific protein estimations in the clinical laboratory over the last 10 years has been due to advances both in methodology and in the understanding of the role of the various plasma proteins in health and disease. This expansion has been made possible by the development of both gel phase and fluid phase techniques for the estimation of proteins and the ready availability of antisera to individual plasma proteins. The specificity of the immunological reaction has allowed the more precise identification and estimation of individual plasma proteins than was possible with dye binding or other chemical techniques, but at the same time these methods have introduced other possible errors and pitfalls. Advances in understanding of the structure and function of various plasma proteins has pointed the way to new clinical applications of plasma protein estimation in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease. The Symposium, of which these are the proceedings, was planned to bring together a number of experts in the field to discuss the available methods and their clinical application. The first part of the Symposium was devoted to methodology and dealt with techniques, reagent supply and control, and the various problems which might arise in the routine clinical laboratory. The second, and larger, part of the Symposium was devoted to a discussion of the clinical relevance of some of the more commonly estimated plasma proteins. The scope of the discussion was enlarged to include proteins in urine and cerebrospinal fluid. It was not the intention of the Symposium to discuss all the possible uses of immunochemistry in relation to clinical laboratory medicine but simply to highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages of immunochemical methods for the estimation of certain plasma proteins and to put these into a proper perspective in relation to modern clinical laboratory practice. The contributors and editors are deeply grateful to the Hyland Division of Travenol Laboratories Limited who sponsored the Symposium and provided the administrative services needed to run it. The editors acknowledge the helpful collaboration of our publisher, and of Mrs. Judy Fagelston who transcribed the discussions.
