G. Bartosz et al., ERYTHROCYTE BEHAVIOR IN FREE-FLOW ELECTROPHORESIS IS INDEPENDENT OF ERYTHROCYTE AGE, Mechanism of ageing and development, 72(2), 1993, pp. 97-103
Enzyme activities (acetylcholinesterase, fluorescein diacetate hydrola
se, superoxide dismutase), membrane protein band 4.1a/4.1b ratio and d
ensity of various fractions of rabbit erythrocytes separated did not s
how differences between various fractions of erythrocytes separated by
free-flow electrophoresis. Also, electric field deflection of lightes
t and densest fractions of erythrocytes did not differ. These results
point to the lack of changes in surface charge density during in vivo
erythrocyte aging.
