Hemoglobins M: identification of Iwate, Boston, and Saskatoon variants.
Hemoglobin M variants, M Iwate, M Boston, M Saskatoon are easily and accurately identified by electron spin resonance with small amounts of patients' blood. In hemoglobin M Iwate and M Boston the electron spin resonance of both fresh blood (unprocessed) and isolated pure ferrihemoglobin M revealed similar signal shapes; whereas that of hemoglobin M Saskatoon was doublet in fresh blood and triplet in pure ferrihemoglobin M.
