Abstract

Differential scanning microcalorimetry and electron microscopy using freeze-fracture technique shows that the erythrocyte plasma membrane of adults differs in several parameters of heat absorption from that of neonates. In particular, electron microscopy demonstrates that the number and diameter of intramembrane particles are smaller in neonatal erythrocyte membranes. The results of this study account for a number of features possessed by neonatal erythrocytes.
