Use of citrate agar electrophoresis in evaluation of antisickling agents

Use of citrate agar electrophoresis in evaluation of antisickling agents

E Wilson et al. J Natl Med Assoc. 1981 Feb.

Abstract

Hemoglobin S (Hb S), treated with antisickling agents which interfere with gel formation, has been found to migrate on citrate agar electrophoresis in a manner similar to Hb A or Hb F. This finding suggests a rapid and inexpensive method for screening potential antisickling compounds of the types which interfere with gelation. This investigation has also led to an improved understanding of the molecular basis of citrate agar electrophoresis and to the realization that agar itself may contain a natural antisickling agent.
