By means of a laborious technique, based on the use of a projection microscope and a sensitive electric photometer, it has been shown that both the areas and transparencies of stained red blood cells may be determined. From the few observations completed, it appears that, statistically, these attributes are positively correlated in normal human blood and their regression line is straight. In pernicious anemia the A/T correlation is negative. Cases of secondary anemia may show either positive or negative A/T correlations. The pathological blood specimens studied all showed non-linear A/T regression lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
