Cell membrane abnormality detected in erythrocytes from patients with multiple sclerosis by partition in two-polymer aqueous-phase systems.

摘要

Erythrocytes from multiple sclerosis patients differ significantly (p less than 0.005) from those from controls with regard to hydrophobic affinity partition in two-polymer aqueous-phase systems containing dextran, poly(ethylene glycol) and poly (ethylene glycol)-fatty acid esters. The most likely source of the abnormality is the cell membrane.
