Abstract
Viscosities of cell suspensions of human skin epithelium (NCTC strain 2544) were determined by a Wells-Brookfield rotation viscosimeter. A structure viscosity may be postulated by the form of the viscosity curves at different shear-rates. At a cell number of 0.5 X 10(6) cells/ml a viscosity of 1.094 centipoise (25degrees C, shear-rate 230 s-1) could be found. Since a suspension of single cells may be easily formed mechanically (mopping) the NCTC 2544 cells are useful as investigational model regarding the investigation of membrane characteristics.Entities:
