Abstract excerpt

Among normal mouse strains, natural genetic variation offers the potential to investigate the structure and function of cell membranes. One such polymorphism between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J is a difference in erythrocyte sensitivity to osmotic lysis. The genetic basis for erythrocyte osmotic fragilit...
