I allow, welcome, and be happy to learn and study my slides that I
upload here in my profile on Slide share website
There is also no objection to copying one or two slides when
necessary, and there is no objection to explaining my PowerPoint to
others on the condition that my name is not removed from the
PowerPoint. I never allow my name to be removed from PowerPoint
and to replace it with yours, Make it look like you designed it. This is
theft that I do not allow and a waste of the right of those who are
tired in this work. May God bless you and me for learning and

18. When is it order?
• as part of newborn screening. In addition, it may be used for prenatal
screening when a parent is at high risk or when parents have a child
who has a hemoglobinopathy.
• when results of a complete blood count (CBC) and/or blood smear
suggest that you have an abnormal form of hemoglobin.
• when a healthcare practitioner suspects that your signs and
symptoms are the result of abnormal hemoglobin production.
Abnormal forms of hemoglobin often lead to hemolytic anemia
18
21. Proteins (Hb) are amphoteric compounds and are therefore either
positively or negatively charged because they contain both acidic
and basic residues.
In an alkaline buffer (pH 8.4), Hb gain negative charges and migrate
to the positive electrode (anode).
On a support media, HBs are separated according to their shape,
size and net surface charge , they migrate to anode.
21
22. • sample are put on a supporting medium between two electrodes.
• When the electric current is connected, the charged molecules move
from one electrode to another at different migration rates according
to their size and charge, allowing their separation.
22
23. • The supporting medium (cellulose acetate gel) is soaked in alkaline buffer.
• RBCs is washed, packed, lysed, diluted and then applied on to the gel.
• The electric current is then connected (200 V for 30 minutes) to allow
separation of different Hb molecules into bands which are then stained with
protein/heme stain.
• The stained bands are then scanned (densitometer) and the density of each
band is roughly correlated with percentage of the variant in the sample.
• A graph is generated representing the bands by corresponding peaks.
• Control sample is run simultaneously in the same gel.

27. 1_ Cellulose acetate electrophoresis at alkaline pH ( 8.2_8.6 )
Sample ➡ whole blood best performed on packed RBCs especially in hypergammaglobulinaemia

41. is a process in which a mixture of molecules (such as normal and
abnormal hemoglobin variants ) with a net positive charge is
separated into its components by their adsorption onto a
negatively charged stationary phase in a chromatography
column, followed by their elution by a mobile phase.
The mobile phase is a liquid with an increasing concentration of
cations flowing through the column; the cations in the mobile
phase compete with the adsorbed proteins for the anionic
binding sites.
41
42. Thus, the adsorbed positively charged hemoglobin molecules are
eluted from the column into the liquid phase at a rate related to
their affinity for the stationary phase.
When separated in this way, they can be detected optically in the
eluate, provisionally identified by their retention time, and
quantified by computing the area under the corresponding peak
in the elution profile.
The more positively charged hemoglobin (e.g., hemoglobin S and
C) have a longer retention time.
42
44. Variant with weak positive charge will adsorb weakly to the column and is eluted
rapidly from the column with the injection of low strength elution buffer.
Variant with strong positive charge will adsorb strongly to the column and is
eluted slowly from the column with the injection of high strength elution buffer.
Procedure:
HPLC is fully automated. Samples are loaded in a rack and automatically processed
one by one (about 6 minutes/sample).
Result:
Data are graphically represented as absorbance vs time (peaks). Retention time is
the time from injection to the top of the peak.

3_ Retention time of glycated and non glycated hemoglobin are different ➡ leads to misinterpretation i.e.
Glycosylated hemoglobin S may have a retention time the same as, or very similar to, that of hemoglobin A, so that
patients with sickle cell anemia may be thought to have a small amount of hemoglobin A.
4 _ Glycated Hb may measured as HbF falsely elevate HbF in HPLC.
5_ although many variant hemoglobin can be separated from each other, they are some that overlap with each
other as Hb lepor usually overlaps with HbA2 and HbE
6_ Certain artefacts need to be recognized for example, increased bilirubin in the plasma may lead to a sharp peak
in the same general area as hemoglobin H.
The nature of any variant hemoglobin detected by HPLC should be confirmed by an alternative technique.
49
50. Hb variant on HPLC
• Hb C elutes in C window in HPLC (C/O).
• Hb E elutes in A2 window in HPLC (A2/E/Lepore).
• Hb D elutes in D window in HPLC (D/G).
• Small part of HbS coelute with Hb A2 leads to falsely high HbA2 value in Sickle cell
variant as Retention time of them are near so you cant differentiate between
HBSS and HBSB0
• Certain artefacts need to be recognized for example, increased bilirubin in the
plasma may lead to a sharp peak in the same general area as hemoglobin H.
• Retention time of glycated and non glycated hemoglobin are different ➡ leads to
misinterpretation i.e. Glycosylated hemoglobin S may have a retention time the
same as, or very similar to, that of hemoglobin A, so that patients with sickle cell
anemia may be thought to have a small amount of hemoglobin A.

2- Mild:

▪ (-α/-α) = Homozygous α+
▪ (αTα/αα) = Heterozygous non-deletional α thalassemia
3- Moderate:
▪ (--/-α) = Double heterozygous α0 and α+
▪ (--/ αTα) = Double heterozygous α0 and non-deletional α thalassemia
▪ (αTα/αTα) = Homozygous or double heterozygous non-deletional α thalassemia.
4- Severe:

Hb separation
Heterozygotes form about 10% Hb Lepore, dominant HbA normal amounts of Hb
A2, and moderately increased amounts of Hb F and usually have mild anemia,
microcytosis, and hypochromia;
Homozygous form moderate to severe anemia.
Hb Lepore 10-20%, absent Hb A and Hb A2 with dominant Hb F
Hb lepor migrates to S region in gel electrophoresis (S/G/D/Lepore), to LEPOR zone
in capillary electrophoresis and elutes in A2 window in HPLC (A2/E/Lepore).

reducing mechanisms.
• In unstable hemoglobin, however, amino acid substitution

induced denaturation ➔ precipitation of Heinz bodies ➔
impairment of red cells deformability and shortening of their life
span.

144. • Normally, O2 is unloaded easily at the tissue site.
• In high affinity Hb➡ amino acid substitution at O2
loading/unloading site in the globin chain ➔ stabilization of Hb
molecule at R sate (relaxed/oxy) configuration ± decreased
affinity to 2, 3-BPG ➔ impaired O2 release ➔ functional anemic
