Effects of oxygen tension on RBC deformability and saturation for AA, SS, and AS patient blood. (A–C) Scatter plots of saturation versus measured deformability of RBCs under eight different oxygen tensions (0 mmHg to 160 mmHg) and representative cell images for AA, SS, and AS patients, respectively. The representative images show soft oxygenated (red border) and deoxygenated cells (blue border) and stiff deoxygenated cells (green border). The colored boxes on the scatter plots correspond to the populations the representative images with matching color border are taken from. All scale bars are 10 µm.
