Hæmoglobin of New-born Infants in Indonesia

Nature volume 183, pages 1125–1126 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

STUDIES on the hæmoglobin of new-born infants, including electrophoretic examinations, have been carried out by several workers. Normally, the red blood cells of new-born infants contain two types of hæmoglobin, fœtal hæmoglobin (Hb F) and normal hæmoglobin (Hb A). The fœtal hæmoglobin, which is resistant to alkali and has a different electrophoretic behaviour from that of normal adults, is the major component. The amount of hæmoglobin F in cord blood ranges from 50 to 90 per cent of the total.
