Induction and decay of thermotolerance in human erythrocytes determined by hemolysis.
Hemolysis was used as an endpoint for the measurement of damage to the plasma membrane in human erythrocytes after a single or a double heat shock. The thermotolerance of erythrocytes is a transitional phenomenon, reaching its maximum at a 3-hour incubation at 37 degrees C between the heat shocks.
