Esterase D Polymorphism in Indians: Stability Studies in Bloodstains

Abstract

One hundred and twenty bloodstains of a heterogeneous population have been successfully typed for the esterase D enzyme. Stability studies of the enzyme in bloodstains stored at room temperature and in lysates stored at —20°C and 4°C have been carried out. Frequencies of EsD phenotypes in Indian populations have also been worked out.
