Interspecific Hybridization of Hæmoglobin

Abstract

FORMATION of hybrids between hæmoglobin of different species (human and canine) have been described1. It is the result of a complete dissociation of the two hæmoglobins into chains with subsequent re-association in equal proportion; the two new molecules of hybrids become apparent; 50 per cent of the canine hæmoglobin participates in the formation of hybrids.
