Abstract
The influence of various factors (pH, temperature, sodium gluconate) on the ionic strength-dependent stomatocyte-discocyte-echinocyte transformation of the human erythrocyte membrane was investigated. The results give further evidence for a correlation between shape of erythrocyte membrane and the transmembrane potential of the cells.
