Freeze-fracture analysis of phenylhydrazine-treated, unfixed human erythrocytes showed a random distribution of intramembrane particles both over membrane-bound Heinz-bodies and in the intervening areas when examined after fast freezing in liquid propane. The same results was obtained when unfixed, glycerinated red cells were frozen in liquid Freon. In contrast to previously published data (Low et al. (1985) Science 227, 531-533) these results indicate that binding of Heinz-bodies to the red cell membrane cannot cause morphologically detectable clustering of Band 3 in phenylhydrazine-treated red cells. Over numerous Heinz-bodies a decreased Acridine orange-induced particle aggregation was observed. The phenomenon of the oxidant-induced red cell fluorescence is described.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D005614 Freeze Fracturing Preparation for electron microscopy of minute replicas of exposed surfaces of the cell which have been ruptured in the frozen state. The specimen is frozen, then cleaved under high vacuum at the same temperature. The exposed surface is shadowed with carbon and platinum and coated with carbon to obtain a carbon replica.
