Genetic control of erythrocyte volume regulation: effect of a single gene (rol) on cation metabolism.
The American journal of physiology - 1 Jul 1994
Fernandes P R, Dewey M J
Abstract excerpt
In laboratory mice we previously defined a gene, rol (resistance to osmotic lysis), based on its effect on erythrocyte osmotic fragility. Here we report a physiological characterization of rol gene action utilizing congenic strains developed for the purpose; these two strains have a common geneti...
