Thalassemia and Thalassemia and hemoglobinopathieshemoglobinopathies
Disorders of globin chain production as a consequences of globin gene defects
As a results, hemoglobin productions are also affected.
Also, some properties of red blood cells are also affected.
Thus it can be recognized by various hematological laboratory tests.

Hb H inclusion body Hb H inclusion body testtest
Principle Hb H (4) is an unstable hemoglobin
commonly seen in -thalassemia. On incubation with some oxidative chemicals such as brilliant cresyl blue (BCB), HbH is oxidised, denatured and precipitated in the erythrocytes and seen as small, evenly-distributed, intra-erythrocytic blue dots which termed HbH inclusion bodies.
![Page 22: Laboratory Diagnosis in Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathies](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d71550346895dcb7a18/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Hb H inclusion body testHb H inclusion body testReagents : As for reticulocyte countStep-by-step procedure : The stain and incubation are as for
reticulocyte countBut look for red blood cells containing HbH
inclusion bodies and report as numbers of those red blood cells in certain amount of total red blood cells examined.
If numerous HbH inclusion body containing eryhthrocytes are seen : Report in %
If few or rare HbH inclusion body containing eryhthrocytes are seen : Report in actual numbers of those rbc/30,000 rbc

Principle At a constant hypotonic NaCl
solution of 0.36% (w/v), hypochromic red blood cells are able to uphold certain amount of water and remain intact whereas the normal erythrocytes cannot and explode.

DCIP precipitation testDCIP precipitation test
Principle HbE (2E
2) has loose contact between and -globin chains. When it is incubated with dichlorophenol indophenol (DCIP); oxidizing agent, it will be denatured and precipitated. The reaction is stopped by adding ascorbic acid and the denatured HbE precipitates.

Hemolysate preparation• Centrifuge EDTA blood at 3000-5000
rpm and remove plasma• Wash packed red cell with NSS for three
time and remove supernatant as much as possible at the last washing round
• Add DW 1.5 time the volume of PRC and mix vigorously
• Add CCl4 to the half of the volume of lysed red cells and mix vigorously
• Centrifuge 3000 -5000 rpm and collect the upper red portion which is “Hemolysate or Hemoglobin solution)

HemoglobinHemoglobin e e lectrophoresis lectrophoresis at alkali at alkali pHpH
Hb: Amphoteric molecule• Molecular net charge depends on pH of t
he medium.• - pH > pI (Iso electric point) : Molecular ne
t charge is negative.• pH < pI : Molecular net charge is positive
.• - pI (Iso electric point) is the pH where mol
ecular net charge of hemoglobin is zero.

Principle• In alkali medium, Hbs will gain negative
net charge.• Different Hbs have different molecular n
egative net charge.• Being placed between cathode and anod
e, Hbs will move away from the anode.• The velocity of the movement depends s
olely on the molecular net charge.• Pattern from cathode to anode is : A2 /E, F

Microcolumn chromatography
Principle• In basic (alkali) solution, net charge of H
bs becomes negative.• Different Hbs have different negative net
charge.• On passing through a colume packed wit
-h DEAE cellulose or sephadex resin, diffe rent Hbs bind resin at different strength.
![Page 56: Laboratory Diagnosis in Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathies](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d71550346895dcb7a18/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Microcolumn chromatography
Principle• On passing Cl- ion through
column, it will elute Hb off the resin.
• Order of Hbs being eluted is dependent on negative
net charge.

Hb identification by HPLCHb identification by HPLCPrinciple Hb is amphoteric molecule and changes
net charge according to pH of medium. If pH < PI, net charge becomes positive
(cation ) and different Hbs have different positive charge.
HPLC separation of Hbs is based on cation exchange chromatography
Stationary phase is negatively charged by f unctional group, e.g. polyaspatic acid.
Mobile phase is buffer with pH lower than pI of Hbs
Order of Hbs : Bart’s, H, F, A, A2/E according to RT
