Abstract
After incubation of reticulocytes with radioactive amino acid, the specific activity of the beta-chain of globin from the blood of patients with thalassemia was consistently lower than that of the alpha-chain. In subjects without this disorder, the specific activity of the beta-chain was always equal to or higher than that of the alpha-chain.Entities:
