Abstract excerpt
We have identified and quantitated the different types of mRNA in single BFU-E derived colonies from Hb S and Hb Atlanta [beta 75 (E19)Leu-->Pro] heterozygotes and observed that the normal and mutated mRNAs were present in equal quantities. Similar studies for the different protein products gave less accurate data because high performance liquid chromatography methods were not sensitive enough for the analysis of...
