title: Short note: heterogeneous response of red blood cells to colloidal silica as a criterion for study of their membrane alterations: flow cytometric approach.
abstract: Since the red blood cells are characterized by the different resistance 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 detecting a dynamic changes of cell morphology during silica-cell interaction.
