The writers postulated that magnetic erythrocytes (ME), injected into the bloodstream, may be concentrated in an assigned region of the vascular bed with the aid of the field of a permanent magnet. To test this hypothesis, erythrocytes ''loaded'' with colloidal magnetite were used, and concentrated in experiments in vitro and in vivo. For the experiments in vivo ME were labeled with sodium pertechnetate (Na /SUP 99n/ TcO4) was estimated in ME with a Rackgamma 1270 counter by determining radioactivity in the ME suspension and in the supernatant. For the experiment in vivo, a midline laparotomy was performed on a dog weighing 14 kg under intravenous hexobarbital anesthesia. The distribution of ME was recorded by means of a gamma-camera.
