PART III. ABNORMAL HEMOGLOI3INS
esls technique against all abnormal types of hemoglobin in an effort to demon-
· . . ~ .
strafe antlgenIc speclilclty.
In summary, it may be stated that except for Hb F. no immunologic specif-
icity exists between the other forms of human hemoglobins examined to date.
The lack of specificity may be due to identical surface configurations of the
protein moiety, or to the masking of minimal alterations by a larger common
antigenic structure.

DISCUSSION
Dr. S. J. Singer: I am not entirely familiar with the work of Campbell arid
Goodman, but I had the impression that by quantitative cross reaction pre-
cipitin testing, some difference was found between sickle and normal hemo-
globins.
Dr. Chernoff: Very minor.
Dr. Si~zger: Small, but distinct.
