The conductance of red blood cells from sickle cell patients: ion selectivity and inhibitors

Abstract:

The abnormally high cation permeability in red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) occupies a central role in pathogenesis. Sickle RBC properties are notably heterogeneous, however, thus limiting conventional flux techniques that necessarily average out the behaviour of millions of cells. Here we use the whole-cell patch configuration to characterise the permeability of single RBCs from patients with SCD in more detail. A non-specific cation conductance was reversi...
