The Acceleration of Saponin Hemolysis by Proflavine
نویسنده
چکیده
Proflavine is a very powerful accelerator of saponin hemolysis of rabbit, human, and dog erythrocytes. Lysolecithin hemolysis, on the other hand, is inhibited. Dog erythrocytes in the presence of proflavine undergo marked changes in shape, finally becoming rods of about 13 micro in length. Rabbit and human erythrocytes are not altered in form under these conditions.

The Effect of Hydrogen Ion Concentration on Saponin Hemolysis
The purpose of the present study has been to determine the change in the resistance of corpuscles to saponin with changes in pII., the acids employed being the common inorganic acids. Ponder (1) has shown that the rate of saponin hemolysis is increased in the presence of certain acids and has applied the equation Cl = R (C, + g) to systems in which an acid is the accelerating agent. Details of ...
متن کاملMicroscopic detection of mixed malarial infections: improvement by saponin hemolysis.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to determine whether saponin hemolysis could improve microscopic detection of malaria parasites in human blood, since it has been previously reported that the technique has been used to enrich Plasmodium falciparum culture to >or=90% parasitemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Blood samples from suspected malaria cases were first examined in routine thic...
متن کاملHemolysis by Saponin and Sodium Taurocholate, with Special Reference to the Series of Ryvosh
1. The series of Ryvosh is obtained when hemolysis of the red cells of the animals concerned occurs with saponin as the lytic agent. 2. The series of Ryvosh is not obtained when R(infinity) is taken as the resistance constant and sodium taurocholate is used to hemolyse the cells of the same animals. 3. The hemolysin sodium taurocholate has been found to differ from saponin in that the time-dilu...
متن کاملThe Effect of Temperature and of Lysin Concentration on the Acceleration of Hemolysis
The acceleration of saponin hemolysis by benzene, indol, and nonyl alcohol has been investigated as a function of temperature, and it has been found that these accelerators have negative temperature coefficients. This points to their being concentrated at the cell surface, and to the surface being the seat of their accelerating action. It is shown that the accelerating power of indol (used as a...
متن کاملErythrocyte folate analysis: saponin added during lysis of whole blood can increase apparent folate concentrations, depending on hemolysate pH.
BACKGROUND The analysis of red cell folate (RCF) depends on complete hemolysis of erythrocytes, and it is assumed that complete hemolysis is achieved by 10-fold dilution of whole blood with hypotonic solutions of 10 g/L ascorbic acid/ascorbate. This report challenges this assumption. METHODS The conventional method of erythrocyte lysis was modified to include saponin, a known effective hemoly...
