Interaction of erythrocyte membranes with particulates
Environmental Health Perspectives
|September 1, 1983
Abstract:
Chrysotile fibers promoted the fusion of human erythrocyte membranes and the hemolysis and fusion of fowl erythrocytes. Amosite and glass fibers did not show the same effect. These findings provide a model for the internalization of the fibers by animal cells.
