Abstract
1. Three Koelliker haemoglobins, HbKE, HbKA and HbKH, derived from a post-translational loss of alpha-Arg-141, were isolated from red cells of chicken embryos. HbKE is typical of embryos up to 7 days of incubation, HbKA and HbKH are found in mature embryos. 2. All the precursor haemoglobins contain alpha A chains. HbKA derives from adult haemoglobin A whose globin composition is alpha A2 beta 2, HbKH from embryonic haemoglobin H with a globin composition alpha A2 beta H2 and HbKE from embryonic haemoglobin E with globin composition alpha A2 epsilon 2. 3. No Koelliker derivatives of haemoglobins with alpha-like chains other than alpha A were observed.
