متن کاملErythrocytes in Sickle Cell Anemia
patients, we have studied the viscosimetric and hemodynamic characteristics of four major classes of hemoglobin SS erythrocytes. We have isolated reticulocytes, discocytes, dense discocytes, and irreversibly sickled cells (fractions I-IV) on Percoll-Renografin density gradients. Bulk viscosity was studied in a coneplate viscosimeter and the hemodynamic studies were performed on the isolated, ar...
