Plasmodium falciparum ligand binding to erythrocytes induce alterations in deformability essential for invasion [PDF]
The most lethal form of malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites invade erythrocytes, a complex process involving multiple ligand-receptor interactions.

Evidence that the degree of band 3 phosphorylation modulates human erythrocytes nitric oxide efflux – in vitro model of hyperfibrinogenemia [PDF]
© 2011 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedRecent evidence has shown that plasma fibrinogen, a major cardiovascular risk factor, interacts with the erythrocyte membrane and acts to influence blood flow via erythrocyte nitric oxide (NO ...

Effects of rigidity on tension within the cell membranes of erythrocytes swollen by osmotic shock
Erythrocytes swell owing to the osmotic shock caused by hypotonic liquids, and when the membrane tension exceeds a certain limit, hemolysis occurs. The base tension in the membrane of a spherically shaped erythrocyte is usually ignored in the mechanical ...

A microsieve for leukocyte depletion of erythrocyte concentrates [PDF]
A new ultra thin filtration membrane has been used for leukocyte removal from erythrocyte concentrates. This filtration membrane, an Aquamarijn Microsieve(R), has a high pore density and a narrow pore size distribution and shows good separation behaviour.

Anion transporter: highly cell-type-specific expression of distinct polypeptides and transcripts in erythroid and nonerythroid cells [PDF]
Affinity-purified antibodies and cDNA probes specific for the chicken erythrocyte anion transporter (also referred to as band 3) have been used to demonstrate that this protein is expressed in a highly cell- type-specific manner in the avian kidney ...

Patients with IgG1-anti-red blood cell autoantibodies show aberrant Fc-glycosylation
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a potentially severe disease in which red blood cells (RBC) are destroyed by IgG anti-RBC autoantibodies which can lead to hemolysis. We recently found IgG Fc-glycosylation towards platelet and RBC alloantigens to be

A new method for the capture of surface proteins in Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocyte
Introduction: We propose a new method for the selective labeling, isolation and electrophoretic analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum protein exposed on the erythrocyte cell surface.

Disease progression in Plasmodium knowlesi malaria is linked to variation in invasion gene family members. [PDF]
Emerging pathogens undermine initiatives to control the global health impact of infectious diseases. Zoonotic malaria is no exception. Plasmodium knowlesi, a malaria parasite of Southeast Asian macaques, has entered the human population. P.
