In serum from about 800 patients, total creatine kinase and its subunit B activities were determined by the recommended Scandinavian creatine kinase method in the absence and presence of a creatine kinase M subunit inhibitory antibody. Eight patients had supranormal subunit B activities, but normal or near-normal values for total creatine kinase activity. Electrophoresis of sera from these eight patients showed, in addition to the normally migrating isoenzyme MM, one or two abnormally migrating creatine kinase isoenzyme bands, located between normally migrating isoenzymes MM and MB. Experimental data suggest that these abnormal bands may be isoenzyme BB with changed electrophoretic mobility. The eight patients had no particular disorder in common.
