High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrophoresis are commonly used to diagnose various hemoglobinopathies. However, insufficient information about the transfusion history can lead to unexpected and confusing results. We are reporting a case of Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) in which HbHPLC was done to quantify fetal hemoglobin (HbF). The chromatogram showed elevated HbF along with a peak in the HbD window. A transfusion acquired peak was suspected based on the unexpectedly low percentage of HbD and was subsequently confirmed using parental HbHPLC.

Abstract A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes the gamma chain of human fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) has been produced by cell hybridization techniques. The mAb reacts with Hb F (alpha 2 gamma 2), Hb Bart's (gamma 4), and Hb Kenya (gamma-beta hybrid), but does not cross-react with Hb A (alpha 2 beta 2) or Hb A2 (alpha 2 delta 2). We describe a direct enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for measurement of Hb F, in which hemoglobins from standards or from unknown hemolysates are covalently bound to the wells of microtiter plates. The antigen is quantified by addition of the gamma-specific mAb, followed by anti-mouse IgG conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, and incubation with the substrate, tetramethylbenzidine. Absorbances at 630 nm are directly proportional to the amount of Hb F present in the standards or samples. Results for Hb F in 53 hemolysates agreed well with values obtained by "high-performance" liquid chromatography, RIA, alkali denaturation, and magnetic affinity immunoassay. This ELISA can detect a 0.5% proportion of Hb F in 1 h and offers distinct advantages over other techniques currently in use.
