HEMOGLOBIN POLYMORPHISM: ITS RELATION TO SICKLING OF ERYTHROCYTES IN WHITE-TAILED DEER.
Hemoglobins with different electrophoretic mobilities are associated with bizarre shapes seen during ordinary light microscopy of erythrocytes from the white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus; nonsickling is contingent upon a specific hemoglobin. Sickling in vitro, which isproduced to a maximum degree in the presence of oxygen and elevated pH, is not associated with hematological abnormalities or disease despite marked differences in physical characteristics of sickled and nonsickled cells.
