Sheep and goats switch from the synthesis of hemoglobin A (α2β2A) to hemoglobin C (α2β2C) when made anemic. We have demonstrated the existence of the asymmetrical hybrid hemoglobin, α2βAβC, in the circulating red cells of anemic sheep. These erythroid cells, therefore, synthesized both A and C hemoglobin simultaneously. Thus, the switch appears to be mediated by selective gene expression rather than by a clonal or cellular selective mechanism.
