Abstract

The bloods of six healthy young male students were stored anaerobically in the cold and at intervals the stroma‐free red cell hemolysates were analyzed in a cacodylate buffer at pH 6.5 and .05M concentration. From these data, a control range was established.Results are presented which show the effect of anaerobic storage on the B/2 values of red cell hemolysates of the bloods of 23 patients with a variety of diseases. In 21 cases, the B/2 values decreased rapidly or showed an initial increase followed by a decrease. Attempts to relate the type of storage curve to specific diseases were unsuccessful. It is concluded that water‐soluble protein components of the red cells may be altered by disease.
