Erythrocyte glycophorins as receptors for Plasmodium merozoites [PDF]
Glycophorins are heavily glycosylated sialoglycoproteins of human and animal erythrocytes. In humans, there are four glycophorins: A, B, C and D. Glycophorins play an important role in the invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) by malaria parasites, which ...

Chronic Basal Ganglia Infarction With PCR-Identified <i>Paeniclostridium sordellii</i>: A Rare Neuropathological Case Report. [PDF]
Background Within 1 month of diagnosis, 40% of patients with positive blood cultures will develop CNS complications. Rare pathogens, that is, Paeniclostridium sordellii, pose diagnostic challenges due to atypical presentations and detection difficulties. Case Presentation A 67‐year‐old man presented with metabolic encephalopathy and diabetes insipidus.

Clinical Spectrum of Hemolytic Anemia in Loxoscelism: Report of Two Cases Highlighting Variable Severity and Management. [PDF]
Loxoscelism can cause local as well as systemic manifestations. Hematologic complications of brown recluse spider venom can be life‐threatening. Here, we present two cases of loxoscelism‐mediated hemolysis that highlight the variable clinical presentations and treatment options available based on severity and pathophysiology of hemolysis.

Glycophorin in Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Glycophorin, the major glycoprotein of human erythrocytes, has been isolated and reincorporated into lipid vesicles. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy shows the reincorporated glycophorin to occur as small particles in vesicle fracture faces while the etch faces are smooth.

Studies on human red-cell membrane glycophorin A and glycophorin B genes in glycophorin-deficient individuals [PDF]
1. Genomic DNA derived from individuals who lack glycophorin A (GPA), glycophorin B (GPB) or both of these proteins was subjected to Southern-blot analysis using GPA and GPB cDNA probes. 2. Bands on the Southern blots were assigned to the GPA gene, GPB gene or to a putative pseudogene. 3.

The epitope of monoclonal antibodies blocking erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum map to the dimerization and receptor glycan binding sites of EBA-175. [PDF]
The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, and related parasites use a variety of proteins with Duffy-Binding Like (DBL) domains to bind glycoproteins on the surface of host cells. Among these proteins, the 175 kDa erythrocyte binding antigen, EBA-175,

Protein composition and functional parameters of RBC membranes in liver and kidney transplantation
Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for many end-stage diseases. However, reperfusion injury constitutes a major complication of transplantation, which is associated with microcirculatory disorders and aggregation of blood corpuscles.
