The Effect of Highly Hydroxylated Fullerenol C60(OH)36 on Human Erythrocyte Membrane Organization [PDF]
The mechanism of the interaction of highly hydroxylated fullerenol C60(OH)36 with erythrocyte membranes was studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) of stearic acid derivatives labeled with a nitroxyl radical at C-12 or C-16 and with a ...

PERMEABILITY PROPERTIES OF ERYTHROCYTE GHOSTS [PDF]
1. Erythrocyte ghosts from human blood were produced by gentle water hemolysis. The ghost-containing hemolysate (about 20 mN) was added to media of different composition (KCl, NaCl, glucose, sucrose, etc.) and varying concentration ranging from 8 to 840 mN. The volume changes of the ghost cells were followed by a light absorption method.

Control of erythroid differentiation: asynchronous expression of the anion transporter and the peripheral components of the membrane skeleton in AEV- and S13-transformed cells [PDF]
Chicken erythroblasts transformed with avian erythroblastosis virus or S13 virus provide suitable model systems with which to analyze the maturation of immature erythroblasts into erythrocytes.

Dielectric dispersion of erythrocyte ghosts [PDF]
The underlying mechanism of the low-frequency dielectric dispersion, called the alpha dispersion, of osmotically lysed erythrocytes (erythrocyte ghosts) has remained open since its finding [H. P. Schwan and E. L. Carstensen, Science 125, 985 (1957)].

Standing-wave-excited multiplanar fluorescence in a laser scanning microscope reveals 3D information on red blood cells [PDF]
Standing-wave excitation of fluorescence is highly desirable in optical microscopy because it improves the axial resolution. We demonstrate here that multiplanar excitation of fluorescence by a standing wave can be produced in a single-spot laser ...

The mechanism of formation, structure and physiological relevance of covalent hemoglobin attachment to the erythrocyte membrane [PDF]
Covalent hemoglobin binding to membranes leads to band 3 (AE1) clustering and the removal of erythrocytes from the circulation; it is also implicated in blood storage lesions. Damaged hemoglobin, with the heme being in a redox and oxygen-binding inactive

Deoxygenation Affects Composition of Membrane-Bound Proteins in Human Erythrocytes
Background/Aims: ATP release from erythrocyte plays a key role in hypoxia-induced elevation of blood flow in systematic circulation. We have previously shown that hemolysis contributes to erythrocyte ATP release triggered by several stimuli, including ...

Human erythrocytes selectively bind and enrich infectious HIV-1 virions. [PDF]
Although CD4(+) cells represent the major target for HIV infection in blood, claims of complement-independent binding of HIV-1 to erythrocytes and the possible role of Duffy blood group antigen, have generated controversy.

Vacuole Formation in Human Erythrocyte Ghosts
SummaryHuman erythrocyte ghost endocytic vacuole formation requires Mg2+ and ATP and occurs optimally in the presence of 0.5—1.0 mM Ca2+ with larger amounts of Ca2+ producing inhibition of vacuole formation. ADP can substitute for ATP as substrate but other nucleotides are much poorer substitutes. EDTA cannot produce ghost endocytic vacuoles. Therefore,
