Abstract

Human placental blood has a lower relative affinity for CO than adult blood. By correcting for the fraction of hemoglobin A in placental blood it was calculated that hemoglobin F has a relative affinity constant of 172 ± 12 which is approximately 20 per cent less than the K of hemoglobin A.
