Abnormal Fœtal Hæmoglobins

Nature volume 191, pages 397–398 (1961)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING the past few years, certain human fœtal hæmoglobin (Hb) variants characterized by electrophoretic mobility different from that of fœtal hæmoglobin have been described. They are: the Hb of Fessas and Papaspyrou1, characterized by mobility at alkaline pH, faster than that of Hb F; Hb Bart's described by Ager and Lehmann2, and also characterized by mobility at alkaline pH faster than that of Hb F ; Hb Alexandra, slower than Hb F, described at the same time by Fessas et al. 3 and by Vella et al. 4.
