Red cells of the rare Leach phenotype lack the membrane glycophorins C and D, and a proportion of the red cells are elliptocytes. Judging from tests on suspensions of red cell ghosts sheared rotationally in an ektacytometer, it has previously been suggested that these membranes are relatively fragile and poorly deformable. We have carried out analyses of individual red cells to investigate possible factors which...
