In the present work we have developed an affinity chromatography system, using haptoglobin bound covalently to Sepharose 4B, to purify hemoglobin from soluble non-heme proteins. Sepharose-haptoglobin specifically binds hemoglobin. It exhibits the same characteristics in its interactions with hemoglobin and alpha or beta hemoglobin chains as does haptoglobin in solution. Globin chains can be eluted from the Sepharose-haptoglobin after removal of the heme. This method has allowed accurate measurements of globin-chain synthesis in blood and bone marrow samples and in culture of early erythroid precursors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
