Abstract
The rheological behavior of RBCs treated with WGA of different concentrations was measured by the recently developed new Ektacytometry method in suspending medium of low viscosity. The biophysical meanings of the orientation index (DI)or and the small deformation index (DI)d in the new Ektacytometry were explained by comparison with the results using the fluorescence polarization technique and the electron spin resonance technique (ESR).
