Voltage-induced changes in the conductivity of erythrocyte membranes

Journal Article · · Biophys. J.; (United States)
;

Isotonic suspensions of erythrocytes exposed to an electric field result in hemolysis through colloidal swelling. This effect has been attributed to the formation of aqueous pores in the membranes. This paper reports a study of the kinetics of the pore formation, where the increase in permeability was detected by conductivity measurements.
