Abstract
Summary
Electrophoretic, chromatographic, and limited structural analyses of the hemoglobins of a deer with two distinct hemoglobin types, Hb-I and Hb-III, failed to demonstrate any change in hemoglobin type as well as in the proportions of the hemoglobins already present when the animal was made severely anemic. Oxygen equilibria also failed to demonstrate any differences in the oxygen affinities and Bohr effects of blood samples from the severely anemic animal and from the nonanemic deer. The sickling of the erythrocytes, which was observed in supravital stains, was absent during the period of bleeding.
