By using a globin isoelectric focusing technique. we measured the levels of G’y. Malta-I G’y, and ky globin chains in the hemolysates of an umbilical cord blood of a carrier for hemoglobin F Malta-I (“yl 1 7 HisArg). a G’y variant. Malta-I G’y focused slightly cathodal to $-chains. Malta-I G’y. normal G’y. and ky chains comprised 21.8%. 57.5%. and 20.7% of the total ‘y-chains, respectively. Thu...
