[Intercellular interactions as a reason for the influence of the erythrocyte concentration on the parameters of detergent hemolysis].

Possible reasons are discussed for the abnormal erythrocyte concentration influence on the course of detergent hemolysis curves. The data obtained lead to a conclusion that erythrocyte plasma membrane properties and, as a consequence, the parameters of erythrocyte-detergent interaction are dependent on cell concentration. The dependence is more sharply expressed for concentrations 5.10(7) cell/ml. In the concentration range (5-20) X 10(7) cell/ml the state of erythrocyte membrane remains apparently unchanged.
