The effectiveness of dextran fractions (Dx-500, Dx-100, Dx-70) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-360, PVP-40) in inducing aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) was studied in a nonflowing environment. The Dx fractions, at low concentrations, induced aggregation of human RBC but failed to do so at high concentrations (concentrations greater than 70 g/L). The effect was different on RBC from animal species (cat and rabbit); aggregation increased steadily with the Dx concentration and there was no critical concentration beyond which Dx failed to induce aggregation. The PVP was found to be very effective, at all concentrations, in inducing aggregation of RBC from both human and the animal species. These results have a twofold significance: (1) they suggest that Dx and PVP, both neutral polymers, interact differently with the human RBC membrane; and (2) the association of Dx with the human RBC membrane is different from that with cat and rabbit RBC membranes.

Counting of red blood cells (RBCs) in microscope blood cell images, can give the pathologists valuable information regarding various hematological disorders, like anemia, leukemia,....etc. in several animal species, in this paper, an automated vision system has been developed which is capable of counting of red blood cells, in blood samples by applying different algorithms, based on red blood cellshape, the difference in the red blood cell shape of animal species make it difficult to use a one algorithm, therefore, for each animal species used specific algorithm which was capable of counting of RBCs effectively.

The agglutination of red cells of seventeen animal species by influenza and Newcastle disease viruses has been quantitatively investigated. The peculiar behaviour of one group of red cells, illustrated by ox, toward influenza virus heated for 30 min. at 56° C. and toward purified N.D.V. has been studied in detail. It is concluded that heated influenza virus acquires an apparently increased titre against ox cells because it has lost its eluting power. Similarly, purified N.D.V. is less readily eluted from red cells, due to the elimination of an ‘elution-hastening factor’ present in infected fluid. The present study illustrates the importance of careful adjustment of all possible variable conditions for individual viruses and individual red cell systems.

IntroductionHemoglobin crystals in the red blood cells were electronmicroscopically reported by Fawcett in the cat myocardium. In the human, Lessin revealed crystal-containing cells in the periphral blood of hemoglobin C disease patients. We found the hemoglobin crystals and its agglutination in the erythrocytes in the renal cortex of the human renal lithiasis, and these patients had no hematological abnormalities or other diseases out of the renal lithiasis. Hemoglobin crystals in the human erythrocytes were confirmed to be the first case in the kidney.Material and MethodsTen cases of the human renal biopsies were performed on the operations of the seven pyelolithotomies and three ureterolithotomies. The each specimens were primarily fixed in cacodylate buffered 3. 0% glutaraldehyde and post fixed in osmic acid, dehydrated in graded concentrations of ethanol, and then embedded in Epon 812. Ultrathin sections, cut on LKB microtome, were doubly stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.

Hemoglobin is the specific protein of red blood cells. Those cells in which hemoglobin synthesis is initiated are the earliest cells that can presently be considered to be committed to erythropoiesis. In order to identify such early cells electron microscopically, we have made use of the peroxidatic activity of hemoglobin by reacting the marrow of erythropoietically stimulated guinea pigs with diaminobenzidine (DAB). The reaction product appeared as a diffuse and amorphous electron opacity throughout the cytoplasm of reactive cells. The detection of small density increases of such a diffuse nature required an analytical method more sensitive and reliable than the visual examination of micrographs. A procedure was therefore devised for the evaluation of micrographs (negatives) with a densitometer (Weston Photographic Analyzer).
