The hemoglobin pattern of 18 inbred strains of mice was studied by starch-gel electrophoresis. In 7 strains (C57BL/10, C57BL/6, C57BR/cd, C57L, C58, SWR, and SEC/1Re) the electrophoretic pattern was found to be of single-band type: in the remaining 11 strains (AKR, DBA/1, DBA/2, CBA, C3H/He, C3HeB/Fe, Fl/1Re, RF, 129, A, and A/He), 6 components were constantly observed when the electrophoretic run was carried out for 20 hours. Hemoglobin from late C57BL/6 fetuses showed an electrophoretic pattern identical to that of the adult animal. Hemoglobin from AKR and DBA/2 late fetuses and newborns showed an electrophoretic pattern similar to that of the adult animal, but the slowest band was more intensely stained as compared with the corresponding band of the adult animal.
