The identification of specific antibodies for a variety of inherited
hemoglobin variants presents the opportunity to develop sensitive
immunochemical measurement techniques for such variants. In this study
antibodies specific for human hemoglobins A1 and S were isolated from
immune rabbit serum. These were labeled with either fluoroscein
isothiocyanate or tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate. Erythrocytes
suspended in agar were incubated with these labeled antibodies and
hemoglobins A1, S, and F were identified within individual cells by
fluorescence microscopy. This capability offers potential for more specific
investigation into heterogenous distribution of specific hemoglobins within
an erythroycte or bone marrow cell population and for developing a
sensitive technique applicable to antenatal diagnosis of specific
hemoglobinopathies.
