Study of the Surface Architectonics of Human Erythrocytes by the Method of Scanning Electron Microscopy in the Presence of Doxycycline

The effects of doxycycline on the morphology and function of donor erythrocytes were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The antibiotic in concentrations of 7.8 × 10(-5) and 7.8 × 10(-6) mol/liter induced heterogeneous changes in the surface architectonics in the erythrocyte population. These data indicated stimulation of erythrocyte "aging" under the effect of doxycycline.
