Data for RBCs are according to Brahm.54 The extracellular chloride concentration is approximately 145 to 150 mmol/L for all efflux measurements. The rate constant for band 3–mediated efflux in K562/B3 clone 1 was calculated as the difference between the rate constant for K562/B3 clone 1 without DNDS and the rate constant for K562/pBp without DNDS.
