The sedimentation of individual cells was investigated in the context of the Stokes' equation for sedimenting spheres. Blood obtained from a finger prick was diluted lo4 times by volume i n Tris buffered Ringer solution (pH 7.4, 310 milliosmolar). A small sample of the suspension was put in a plasti

β¦ Synopsis
The sedimentation behaviour of single human red blood cells fixed with glutaraldehyde at p H 7.4 and 6.4 was studied and compared to results previously reported for normal fresh cells. The cells fixed at pH 7.4 were observed to have normal shapes while those fixed at pH 6.4 were more spherical and less disc-like. Fixation of glutaraldehyde removed "membrane flicker," resulting in increased stability as indicated by a decrease in the num-

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are widely used in the management of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, repeated RBC transfusions are often complicated by RBC alloimmunization. To investigate whether the frequency of RBC alloimmunization could be accounted for by racial and RBC phen
