“…Nevertheless, Hb is reversibly bound to the cell membrane (Dodge, Mitchell and Hanahan, 1963;Mitchell, Mitchell and Hanahan, 1965;Duchon and Collier, 1971). Klipstein and Ranney (1960) found that human red cell membranes preferentially bound the most basic Hb that the cells contained (Hb A2 over A, S over A, and Cover S) but that rabbit RBC's, which do not contain a basic Hb, do not preferentially bind a specific Hb.…”
