Interactions of attapulgite (fibrous clay) with human red blood cells
The haemolytic potential of attapulgite (Senegal) has been investigated. When the particles were pretreated with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at a concentration that would obtain maximum coverage of the particles by adsorption, a change in haemolysis was...

Summary: | The haemolytic potential of attapulgite (Senegal) has been investigated. When the particles were pretreated with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at a concentration that would obtain maximum coverage of the particles by adsorption, a change in haemolysis was observed. The results indicate that haemolysis is strongly dependent on the surface state of the particles. |
