The decrease in O2 affinity with increasing [human] Hb concentration, which occurs in solutions of pure Hb S, can be used to determine the minimum concentration at which polymerization of the deoxy form takes place. On this basis a very sensitive method for measuring the minimum gelling concentration was developed. The influence of temperature, pH and other Hb on the end points obtained by this method was described. In all cases excellent aggreement with the minimum gelling concentration determined directly on larger samples was observed. The decrease in O2 affinity of red cells containing Hb S with increasing intracorpuscular Hb concentration is apparently a direct consequence of the gelling properties of Hb S alone.
