Enhanced Ca2+ influx in mechanically distorted erythrocytes measured with 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract We present the first direct nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evidence of enhanced entry of Ca2+ ions into human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs), when these cells are mechanically distorted. For this we loaded the RBCs with the fluorinated Ca2+ chelator, 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fluorophenoxy)...
