Use of lectins as indicators for magnetic field action on erythrocyte membranes

The effects of magnetic fields on biological membranes in general and on the red blood cell membrane in particular have been studied intensively in the last two decades. A variety of methods for evaluation of magnetic field action on the structure and function of biological membranes has been used. It has been suggested /1/ that the cell membrane can be considered as one of the primary targets affected by magnetic field exposure.
