Surface charge was removed from RBC (erythrocyte) membrane to different degrees with biochemical methods, i.e., treatment of RBCs with neuraminidase, either using different doses for the same incubation time (1 hour) or using the same dose (75 milli-unit) for different incubation time. Several rheological properties of the RBCs with surface charge removal were observed, including the deformation index DI (using traditional ektacytometry) orientation index (DI)or and small deformation index (Dl)d (using new ektacytometry), the viscosity at low and high shear rates (using a cone-plate rotating viscosimeter). In addition, photographs of RBCs aggregation under a microscope and the histograms of RBC aggregate size after treatment with neuraminidase were obtained. It is found from these experiments that the decrease of the surface charge of RBCs leads to the decrease in the deformation and orientation indices as well as the increase in blood viscosity.
