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.
