A New Hæmoglobin Variant (the ‘Honolulu Type’) in a Chinese

Abstract

RECENTLY several hæmoglobin variants have been described with electrophoretic mobilities between those of hæmoglobins G and S in paper electrophoresis, veronal buffer, pH 8.6, namely, types L (ref. 1), P (refs. 2 and 3), and Stanleyville I (refs. 4 and 5). One case of hæmoglobin G was found in a Chinese6. The present report deals with a new hsemoglobin variant in a Chinese, similar to L, P and Stanleyville I in paper electrophoresis, but distinguished from them by chromatography or free electrophoresis.
