Effect of Boric Acid on Red Blood Cells
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
A 2 percent solution of boric acid applied to nucleated red blood cells of a frog will cause the concentration of all he coloring matter in the nucleus; the colored body thus formed gradually quits its central position , and comes to be partly, sometime entirely, protruded from the surface of the now colorless cell. When applied to non-nucleated mammalian corpuscle its effect merely resembles that of other dilute acids.
