Abstract: | The study indicated that intravenously administered DF32P was a suitable label for mink erythrocytes. The mean survival time of erythrocytes of 29 adult male mink labelled with diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate32P(DF32P) was 92.2 ± 4.1 (SEM) days. Three colour types were tested: standard dark, pastel and sapphire. No significant difference in erythrocyte life span relating to colour type was apparent in these animals. |
