Abstract
The authors have examined the mobility of a variety of animal hemoglobins utilizing paper electrophoresis in a barbital buffer. With the exception of the horse, calf, and some sheep, which possessed 2 components, the (adult) mammalian hemoglobins studied were found to have single components, which were variously of greater (macaque, guinea pig), lesser (llama, cow, dog, rabbit), or the same (chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, pig, sheep, goat, cat, mouse, rat, hamster) mobility as human A hemoglobin. Among the other forms, hemoglobin from several chickens had 3 electrophoretic components, that from another species of chicken, ducks, robin, several species of turtle, and the frog had 2 components, and that from pigeons, penguin, black snake, water snake, and toad single components.
