Abstract

Escherichia coli strain chi 1776 carrying recombinant DNA plasmids containing cDNA copies of human beta or gamma globin mRNAs has been shown by radioimmunoassay to synthesize polypeptides antigenically related to the beta and gamma chains of human hemoglobin. The gamma and beta polypeptides have been enriched from lysates on immunoabsorbent columns containing hemoglobin antibodies and shown to specifically inhibit the antigen-antibody binding between 125I-labeled hemoglobin and the homologous antibody but not other hemoglobin-antihemoglobin reactions. Clone JW151, which is known to contain a complete copy of the coding portion of the gamma globin mRNA, has been shown to produce a protein that reacts specifically with antibody to the chain of fetal hemoglobin, hemoglobin Kenya, and hemoglobin Bart's.
