Destructive effect of heparin on avian erythrocytes.
The nuclear and cytoplasmic membranes of avian erythrocytes exposed to heparin became permeable to basichromatin. The permeability was dosage dependent, which suggests that the results were not an artifact of technique. The results are in agreement with previous findings that heparin causes nuclear membranes of isolated nuclei to become permeable to chromatin.
