Abstract
A NUMBER of recent reports1,2 have indicated that the in vitro storage of human red blood cells leads to an increased electrophoretic mobility of some enzymes (for example, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatases) when compared with the mobility of the same enzyme obtained from fresh blood. This finding parallels that previously reported for haemoglobin derived from fresh or stored red cells3.
