Measurement and Influence of White Cell Deformability

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Blood may be regarded as a mobile tissue. Of its cellular components the white blood cells (WBCs) and the red blood cells (RBCs) have diameters which are larger than most of the blood capillaries. Cell deformation is therefore required to let the blood corpuscles pass through those parts of the circulatory system in which blood and tissue communicate.
