Short asbestos fibers isolated by a sedimentation procedure have a strong hemolytic activity. In the presence of ferritin particles, hemolysis by chrysotile fibers is inhibited at least during the first 10 min. Freeze-fracture studies show that after 20 sec or 2 min of contact between the fibers and the RBC membrane, the intramembranous particles remain randomly distributed over the whole surface of the P-face. On the E-face of the asbestos-treated red blood cell membranes, the number of intramembranous particles is significantly reduced. With the transmission electron microscopy, it is not possible to resolve the trilaminar structure of the ghost membrane around the deeply buried asbestos fibers. It is postulated that the membrane defects brought about by asbestos are caused by the adsorption of one membrane constituent, possibly phospholipids, on the chrysotile fibers.
