Previous studies showed that the magnitude of the fetal Hb (Hb F) response to hemolytic anemia and hypobaric hypoxia in the baboon is specific to an animal (high and low Hb F responders), suggesting that the Hb F response is under genetic control. In this study Hb F levels in 55 adult (over 8 yr old) and 23 juvenile unstressed baboons varied between 0.02% and 0.6% (resting Hb F levels). Of these animals 29 were subjected to hemolytic stress; the magnitude of their Hb F response was positively correlated with the resting Hb F levels. In addition, the resting levels of Hb F in parents were positively correlated with those of their offspring. In 11 animals, 7 adults and 4 juveniles, subjected to hemopoietic stress the Hb F levels were increased proportionally to the number of F-cells. In juvenile animals the calculated concentration of Hb F per F-cell was markedly higher than in adult animals. The resting level of Hb F is predictive of the magnitude of the Hb F response to stress erythropoiesis. The number of F-cells and the concentration of Hb F per cell in erythropoietic stress appear to be modulated by different mechanisms.
