Membrane properties and aggregation of human red blood cells after endotoxin treatment in vitro.
Endotoxin treatment of blood in vitro (10(-11) mg/RBC, 30 min at 30 degrees C) leads to a significant increase of the membrane elastic shear modulus mu and membrane viscosities as well as of the aggregation index AI and of the velocity of doublet formation.
