Values are means ± S.E.M. calculated from the slopes of the plots in Figs 1, 2 and 4 according to Equations 2 and 3 in Materials and methods.
HbI+II, HbII+III and hemolysate were studied in presence and absence of 4%CO2, and red blood cells (RBC) in the presence of 0.5%CO2.
Values for RBC refer to the osmolality range 0.25-2.0 osmol kg-1.
