Use of specific fluorescent antibodies for the identification of hemoglobin C in erythrocytes. 1977

T Papayannopoulou, and G Lim, and T C McGuire, and V Ahern, and P E Nute, and G Stamatoyannopoulos

Antibodies against hemoglobulin C (alpha2beta2 6Glu leads to Lys) were produced by immunizing horses and were purified by affinity chromatography. As expected from the bivalency of both the antibody and the antigen, the purified antibodies failed to produce immunoprecipitates upon reaction with the corresponding antigens. Identification of hemoglobin C in individual erythrocytes was achieved by reacting the fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibodies with the hemoglobin antigen in fixed smears of peripheral blood. Red cells from persons having a hemoglobin C gene were labeled strongly upon reaction with anti-Hb C-FITC; there was no labeling of red cells containing normal hemoglobins or Hb S, suggesting that the anti-Hb C antibodies recognize only the amino-terminal segment of the beta chains that contain lysine in position beta6.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D006444 Hemoglobin C A commonly occurring abnormal hemoglobin in which lysine replaces a glutamic acid residue at the sixth position of the beta chains. It results in reduced plasticity of erythrocytes.
D006445 Hemoglobin C Disease A disease characterized by compensated hemolysis with a normal hemoglobin level or a mild to moderate anemia.
