Preparation and properties of human erythrocyte ghosts
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1973 Ghosts are post-hemolytic residues of red blood cells. It is generally assumed that these residues are devoid of intracellular structure and consist primarily of the cell membrane.

Ubiquitination and degradation of CD47 enhances macrophage phagocytosis of hemolytic erythrocytes [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The destruction of red blood cells by classical complement activation can form erythrocyte ghosts in immune-mediated hemolysis. However, the mechanisms involved in clearing these membrane remnants remain to be elucidated.

N-Glycosylation of Band 3 is essential for the binding of Ganoderma lucidum immunomodulatory protein rLZ-8 [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologyFungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs) are considered potential therapeutic candidates due to their immunomodulatory and anti-cancer activities. Meanwhile, they are capable of agglutinating mammalian red blood cells in a manner similar to lectins ...

Identification of Exported Plasmodium falciparum Proteins That Bind to the Erythrocyte Cytoskeleton
Microorganisms, 2022 Plasmodium proteins are exported to the erythrocyte cytoplasm to create an environment that supports parasite replication. Although hundreds of proteins are predicted to be exported through Plasmodium export element (PEXEL)-dependent and -independent ...
