RE: [RC] red cells--FWIW - tobytrotThe stacking of red cells in cats and horses are called Roleaux formations. They don't clot or clump--they just look like a bunch of saucers neatly stacked up. And that's what makes for the really rapid sed rates. In humans, too. When slides are made and stained for examination under a microscope, you often see a blue background because the extra proteins pick up some of the stain. terre (actually spelled "rouleaux") =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
