Adhesion of red blood cells (RBC) to substrates are one crucial problems for a clot. Here we investigate the mobility RBC between two glass in saline with polymer systems. We find that RBCs adhered substrate PEG, however steeply increases fibrinogen and dextran, which biopolymers. also affects an aggregation dynamics RBCs, is related diseases such as influenza, clot so on. The Brownian motion helps increase probability contact each other more stable condition aggregation. Thus biopolymers play important roles not only preventing adhesion but
