Abstract excerpt
Blood samples were collected from 324 goats belonging to the native Apulian breeds Garganica and Jonica; 60 Alpine goats were also sampled to serve as a comparison. Hemoglobin phenotypes were analyzed with isoelectric focusing in a pH range of 6.7-7.7. Heterogeneity of globin chains was evidenced both by AUT-PAGE and RP-HPLC. The primary structure of four alpha globins was analyzed by combined mass spectrometry...
