Direct determination of unbound lipophilic ligands in aqueous solutions [PDF]
Due to their hydrophobic nature, lipophilic compounds are always bound to proteins when transported in the organism. The transfer of such compounds between their binding proteins and cells as well as intracellular trafficking is mediated by a very low ...

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)].

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.

Development of nanosponges from erythrocyte ghosts for removal of streptolysin-O from mammalian blood [PDF]
Aim: To produce mammalian biomimetic nanosponges from mammalian erythrocyte ghosts. Biomimetic nanosponges were studied in vitro as treatment platforms against exotoxin-related sepsis.

THE ELECTROPHORETIC MOBILITY OF RABBIT ERYTHROCYTES AND GHOSTS [PDF]
Measurements of the electrical mobility of washed rabbit red cells and of ghosts produced by hypotonic solutions, freezing-and-thawing, chloroform, and saponin were made in the Abramson horizontal microelectrophoresis cell. These different forms of lysis, which corresponds to a variety of degrees of injury to the red cell, are unaccompanied by any ...

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.

Membrane transport of anandamide through resealed human red blood cell membranes
The use of resealed red blood cell membranes (ghosts) allows the study of the transport of a compound in a nonmetabolizing system with a biological membrane.

Mapping of hemoglobin in erythrocytes and erythrocyte ghosts using two photon excitation fluorescence microscopy [PDF]
The present study describes utilization of two photon excitation fluorescence (2PE) microscopy for visualization of the hemoglobin in human and porcine erythrocytes and their empty membranes (i.e., ghosts).

Binding of anandamide to bovine serum albumin
The endocannabinoid anandamide is of lipid nature and may thus bind to albumin in the vascular system, as do fatty acids. The knowledge of the free water-phase concentration of anandamide is essential for the investigations of its transfer from the ...
