Abstract
Harris, McAllister and Prankerd have shown1 that normal red blood cells damaged in vitro by different procedures and re-infused into the donor are rapidly removed from the circulation and sequestered mainly in the spleen. The artificial alteration of normal erythrocytes produced by heating them at 49.5° C after their tagging with radioactive chromium has since been introduced as a routine procedure in the clinical investigation of spleen enlargement by means of external scintillation2–8.
