Figure 4. Transmission electron micrographs of TO−,TfR+ RBCs.

Figure 4

TO−,TfR+ RBCs were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting from the blood of a mouse on the fifth day of recovery from three consecutive days of phlebotomy. Pre-sorting and post-sorting analyses of forward and side light-scattering (shown in Supplemental Fig. 2) indicated that the TO−,TfR+ RBCs were intact and unchanged in these properties after sorting procedure. The micrographs show individual cells at similar magnifications (bar equals 1 micrometer). The rectangles in each micrograph designate those areas shown at higher magnification in the adjacent micrographs. These selected areas demonstrate internal or surface structures consistent with degraded organelles.
