Abstract
The clumping that takes place when blood is mixed with isotonic glucose is well known to the clinician. This curious phenomenon has been characterized and used to prepare blood frozen in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide for transfusion. A hypothesis is advanced to explain the mechanism of reversible agglomeration of erythrocrytes in nonelectrolyte solutions.Entities:
