ABSTRACT

This chapter concerns the analysis of the physiological state of cells both in the human environment (habitat) and in the medium of electrophoretic measurement with a large ionic force. The physiological meaning of physicochemical parameters (e.g., the ionic force and pH value) is commonly associated with regularities in the functioning of living cells. The pH value of the medium plays an immense role in the physiological state of an organism. The concentration of hydrogen ions affects the ionic state and, hence, the accessibility of cells to many metabolites and inorganic ions. The data on the influence of the physiological electrolyte solutions with a high ionic force and different pH values on the electrophoretic mobility of the erythrocytes and leukocytes are at present undergoing mathematical treatment. Cell electrophoresis, as one of the effective modem methods, will undoubtedly help scientists develop exact diagnoses of diseases.
