SHORT NOTE - HETEROGENEOUS RESPONSE OF RED-BLOOD-CELLS TO COLLOIDAL SILICA AS A CRITERION FOR STUDY OF THEIR MEMBRANE-ALTERATIONS - FLOW CYTOMETRIC APPROACH

Since the red blood cells are characterized by the different resistanc e to action of the colloidal silica particles, this fact allows us to suppose that heterogeneity of the cell response to silica can be used as a criterion for the study of changes in the membrane systems. Flow cytometry has been proposed as one of most effective techniques for de tecting a dynamic changes of cell morphology during silica-cell intera ction.
