Chromium 51 Elution from Hemoglobin and Intact Erythrocytes of Adults,Infants and Patients with Cooley's Anemia. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Accelerated rates of chromium⁵¹ elution from hemoglobin solutions containing fetal hemoglobin have been shown to be present in specimens obtained from an infant and from patients with Cooley's anemia. This acceleration has been shown to be directly related to the percent fetal hemoglobin present. Rapid rates of chromium⁵¹ elution could not be demonstrated to occur from intact labeled erythrocytes containing large amounts of fetal hemoglobin studied by the technic of dialysis.
