Serial section electron microscopy of hemolysing erythrocytes (fixed at 12 s after the onset of osmotic hemolysis) revealed long slits and holes in the membrane, extending to around 1 microm in length. Many but not all of the slits and holes (about 100-1000 A wide) were confluent with one another. Ferritin and colloidal gold (added after fixation) only permeated those cells containing membrane defects. No such large holes or slits were seen in saponin-treated erythrocytes, and the membrane was highly invaginated, giving the ghost a scalloped outline. Freeze-etch electron microscopy of saponin-treated membranes revealed 40-50 A-wide pits in the extracellular surface of the membrane. If these pits represent regions from which cholesterol was extracted, then cholesterol is uniformly distributed over the entire erythrocyte membrane.
对溶血红细胞(在渗透性溶血开始后12秒固定)进行连续切片电子显微镜检查,发现膜上有长裂缝和孔洞,长度延伸至约1微米。许多(但并非全部)裂缝和孔洞(约100 - 1000埃宽)相互汇合。铁蛋白和胶体金(固定后添加)仅渗透到含有膜缺陷的细胞中。在皂素处理的红细胞中未观察到如此大的孔洞或裂缝,并且膜高度内陷,使血影呈现出扇贝状轮廓。对皂素处理的膜进行冷冻蚀刻电子显微镜检查,发现膜的细胞外表面有40 - 50埃宽的凹坑。如果这些凹坑代表胆固醇被提取的区域,那么胆固醇在整个红细胞膜上均匀分布。
