Effect of Heparin on Erythrocyte Filtration by the Popliteal Lymph Node in the Dog¹

Department of Radiology, Division of Radiotherapy, State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, and Kings County Hospital Center, Brooklyn, New York 11203

In 12 experiments the effect of heparin on lymph node filtration efficiency was tested, utilizing perfusion of ⁵¹Cr-tagged erythrocytes through a popliteal lymph node preparation in the dog.

Heparin does not exert any detectable effect on the filtration efficiency of the dog lymph node for red blood cells.
