Abstract excerpt
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF), the major hemoglobin species in fetal life, drops to <1% in normal adults, where it is restricted to a few 'F-cells', which may increase in various acquired and genetic conditions, including thalassemia. Using flow cytometry, we studied the percentage of HbF-containing cells and their HbF content in RBC, reticulocytes (retics) and normoblasts (NRBC) present in the peripheral blood of...
