Chloride and water distribution in human red cells.

M Dalmark
PMCID: PMC1348339  PMID: 240930

Abstract

1. The influence of the pH and the temperature on the cellular chloride and water content was investigated in human red cells, the cellular KC1 concentrations of which varied between 10 and 600 mM. The compositions of the media (10-600 mM-KC1, 1 mM-NaC1, 27 mM sucrose) at each single KC1 concentration were constant at the different values of the pH and the temperature. 2. The variation of the cellular KC1 concentration was obtained by washing the cells with KC1 salt solutions containing nystatin...
