Dielectric spectroscopy reveals nanoholes in erythrocyte ghosts [PDF]
, 2012 When blood is diluted with water, erythrocytes swell and then burst to release haemoglobin molecules, viz. hypotonic hemolysis. The remaining membranes, so-called “ghosts”, have transient holes, which are resealed under physiological conditions. About 50

Cholestatriene and ergostatetraene as in vivo and in vitro membrane and lipoprotein probes.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 The fluorescent cholesterol analogues, cholesta-5,7,9(11)triene-3-beta-ol (I) and ergosta-5,7,9(11)-22-tetraene-3-beta-ol (II), have been shown to be readily incorporated by various tissues and lipoproteins in rabbits maintained on diets supplemented ...

Baboon erythrocyte ghosts contain beta-adrenergic receptors
, 1985 We have used the beta-adrenergic antagonist [3H]dihydroalprenolol [( 3H]DHA) to identify binding sites on the erythrocyte membrane of the primate Papio ursinus. Analysis of the saturation isotherm revealed binding to be saturable with a maximal number of

Effect of an unstirred layer on the membrane permeability of anandamide
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 To study the effect of an unstirred layer (UL), we have investigated the exchange efflux kinetics of anandamide at 0°C, pH 7.3, from albumin-free as well as from albumin-filled human red blood cell ghosts to media of various BSA concentrations ([BSA]o ...

Bispyridinium Compounds Inhibit Both Muscle and Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Human Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus anticholinesterases uses atropine to reduce the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine accumulation and oximes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (the effectiveness of which depends on the specific ...

The Retention of Entrapped Molecules within Erythrocyte Ghosts During Cryopreservation
, 1990 In view of the interest in erythrocyte ghosts and carrier erythrocytes as potential drug delivery systems, this work was undertaken to determine conditions facilitating the retention of entrapped molecules during cryopreservation.

Erythrocyte Ghosts Support Malarial Invasion and Growth
, 2013 (A) LY-D–loaded erythrocyte ghosts (yellow) were infected with P. falciparum (detected by blue DNA stain Hoechst 33342; indicated by arrow). Bar represents 5 μm.

Partial fusion activity of influenza virus toward liposomes and erythrocyte ghosts is distinct from viral inactivation [PDF]
, 1996 Final extents of fusion of influenza virus (A/PR/8/34 strain) with neutral and partially acidic liposomes were monitored with (i) a fluorescence resonance energy-transfer assay in which the liposomes were labeled and (ii) by the dequenching of ...
