Zy. Wen et al., BIOPHYSICAL MEANINGS OF ORIENTATION AND DEFORMATION OF RBCS IN SHEAR-FLOW FIELD OF LOW-VISCOSITY WITH NEW EKTACYTOMETRY, SCIENCE IN CHINA SERIES C-LIFE SCIENCES, 41(2), 1998, pp. 195-202
The rheological behavior of RBCs treated with WGA of different concent
rations was measured by the recently developed new Ektacytometry metho
d in suspending medium of low viscosity. The biophysical meanings of t
he orientation index (DI)(or) and the small deformation index (DI)(d)
in the new Ektacytometry were explained by comparison with the results
using the fluorescence polarization technique and the electron spin r
esonance technique (ESR).
