Abstract

The study of the behavior of serum proteins in dried bloodstains is a subject of considerable forensic interest. Kind et al [1] estimated the age of dried bloodstains by a spectrophotometric method. Kind and Watson [2] estimated the age of bloodstains by ammoniacal bloodstain extracts. This paper reports on the determination of the age of a given bloodstain by using the technique of immunoelectrophoresis.
