title: Electrokinetic behavior of rat blood erythrocytes: dependence on cell volume.
abstract: The interrelationship between electrophoretic mobility and the volume of rat blood erythrocyte is described by a non-linear curve, where the deviation of cell volume from the physiological normal is accompanied by a decrease in their mean electrophoretic mobility. In some ranges, the deviations of erythrocyte volume do not affect their electrokinetic properties. It can be hypothesized that the simultaneous shifts of these parameters are caused only by some hematological abnormalities that are manifested in pronounced changes in cell homeostasis.
