[Changes in osmotic resistance of erythrocytes of human blood caused by Vipera berus venom].
The effect of Berus viper's venom on the osmotic globular resistance of human blood, incubated for a period of 2 hours at 20 degrees C with amounts of venom in the range of 200 to 400 gamma/ml of blood, has been studied. The hemolytic effect occurs to a greater extent at NaCl concentrations higher than 0,60%.
