Effects of MβCD at different concentrations on cell viability and cholesterol depletion. A Effect of MβCD on the number of erythrocytes (n = 6; **P < 0.01). B–D The representative flow cytometric data show the fluorescence intensity of filipin-stained normal erythrocytes (B), sickle erythrocytes (C), and their membrane ghosts (D), respectively, treated with MβCD at indicated concentrations for 1h at 37 °C. Insets show the quantitative analyses (n = 3; **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001)
