Abstract

Normal red cell dynamic behavior could be important in circulatory function. It may initiate many cellular damages, particularly in adhesion reactions with blood vessel endothelium. The purpose of this study is to use velocity criteria to classify normal red blood cells (RBCs) under dynamic conditions. Three classification methods were used, K-Means, HAC and LAMDA. They pointed out two classes of red blood cells with a third one at the boundary between the two others. This particular composition may influence cell specific behavior, especially under pathological conditions.
