Commercial dried blood corpuscle paste obtained from Armour and Company, Chicago, was used in this preparation. This paste contains about 15 per cent of moisture and ash, and 200 g. contains about the same amount of crude protein as 11. of fresh beef blood (170 g. protein per liter). 

Some types of injections must be made iso-osmotic with blood serum. This applies particularly to large-volume intravenous infusions if at all possible hypotonic solutions cause lysis of red blood corpuscles and thus must not be used for this purpose. Conversely, hypertonic solutions can be employed these induce shrinkage, but not lysis, of red cells which recover their shape later. Intraspinal injections must also be isotonic, and to reduce pain at the site of injection so should intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. Adjustment to isotonicity can be determined by the following methods. 

Perhaps the most useful method for determining particle distributions is that of electrical conductivity, the most widely used instrument is the Coulter Counter (named after the Inventors), although there are now other similar instruments on the market. Originally, this instrument was designed to measure blood corpuscles which are 2-8 p in size. It has proven to be very... 

The number of red blood corpuscles in one cubic millimeter is about 5,000,000 and the number of white blood corpuscles in one cubic millimeter is about 8,000. What, then, is the ratio of white blood corpuscles to red blood... 

The urine frequently contains casts and amorphous debris, but rarely any considerable number of red blood corpuscles. Proteinuria and aminoaciduria are found in nearly all untreated patients from a very early age. The proteinuria is usually reported as albuminuria in the literature, but in some cases the urinary protein has been shown by electrophoresis to consist largely of a-globulin and other relatively low-molecular-weight proteins (B21). A similar urinary pattern occurs in a number of diseases of the renal tubule. The proteinuria is often only moderate in degree, e.g., < 50 to 150 mg protein per 100 ml of urine, but is easily detected by the conventional tests for protein, such as salicylsulfonic acid. Excretion of protein can rise to nearly 1 g/100 ml in some cases (H8, L7).

An albino does not have the ability to generate melanin, so their hair is snow white, and their skin looks pale pink in colour because the blood corpuscles beneath its surface are the only chromophore they have.

Erythropoiesis (A). Blood corpuscles develop from stem cells through several cell divisions. Hemoglobin is then synthesized and the cell nucleus is extruded. Erythropoiesis is stimulated by the hormone erythropoietin (a glycoprotein), which is released from the kidneys when renal O2 tension declines.

Recombinant erythropoietin, a hormone normally secreted by the kidney, which stimulates the production of red blood corpuscles, also shows interesting clearance mechanisms. Arguing from the G-CSF case you might guess that it will be taken up by the cells of the bone marrow which is its site of action. This is the case, and up to half of the clearance of erythropoietin is through the marrow itself.

This overall sequence of reactions is important because it mimics the natural process of heme rupture during catabolism of waste heme proteins. A blood corpuscle serves, on average, a useful life of about 120 days, and heme systems which perform more dangerous functions, such as cytochrome P450 (which activates molecular oxygen and subsequently hydroxylates hydrocarbons), survive for much shorter periods. In response to an unknown... 

ANTIGEN. A substance, usually a protein, a polysaccharide, or a lipoid, which when introduced into the body stimulates the production of antibodies. Bacteria, their toxins, red blood corpuscles, tissue extracts, pollens, dust, and many other substances may act as antigens. See Antibody.

Egg production in trematodes puts a heavy demand on the parasite for nutrients. Female 5. mansoni worms ingest ten times more red blood corpuscles (330,000/h) than males in order to produce the estimated 100-200 eggs/day/female (Loker, 1983). Schistosoma japonicum females are even more prodigious producing 500-2000 eggs/day (Loker, 1983 Fan and Kang, 2003). The hermaphroditic adult liver fluke, on the other hand, consumes 0.03 ml of blood (approximately 350 x 106 red blood cells)/h and produces from 20,000 to 50,000 eggs/day (Whitfield, 1979 Andrews, 1999 Dalton et ah, 2004). 

Two critical discoveries were made in this direction, largely at the State University of New York s Down State Medical Center. (1) Both the blood corpuscles that form thrombus deposits and the arterial walls in a healthy person are negatively charged, i.e., repelling and there is no thrombus formation. (2) In arteriosclerosis, the sign of one of these charges changes.
