View Article and Find Full Text PDFA total of 17 cases of anomalous hemoglobin M (Hb M) were detected among subjects of varying nationalities in different regions of the USSR. The methods used for identification of Hb M Saskatoon, Hb M Boston, Hb M Iwate, Hb M Hyde Park have been described, among them--electron paramagnetic resonance. Spectral characteristics, electrophoretic mobility of these Hb in pH gradient, reaction with cyanides, thermal stability, in vitro reduction with methemoglobin reductase, isolated from donor's red blood cells, have been investigated.
