Adhesion of human red blood cells to polystyrene. Influence of sodium chloride concentration and of neuraminidase treatment.
The adhesion on polystyrene of glutaraldehyde-fixed human red blood cells was found to increase with NaCl concentration. Half of the maximum of irreversible adhesion was obtained in 2.2 mM NaCl for neuraminidase-treated cells and in 5.5 mM NaCl for the untreated cells.
