Red Blood Cells Oligosaccharides as Targets for Plasmodium Invasion [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2022 The key element in developing a successful malaria treatment is a good understanding of molecular mechanisms engaged in human host infection. It is assumed that oligosaccharides play a significant role in Plasmodium parasites binding to RBCs at different

Hybrid glycophorin GP (A-B) and anti-Ena antibody in a multiparous woman [PDF]
Asian Journal of Transfusion ScienceThe MNS system is a large, complex group of antigens, with 50 antigens at present. The major antigens of the system are carried on glycophorins A and B, which are important red cell sialoglycoproteins.

Multiplex-PCR technique to predict polymorphic antigens – M, N, S and s – and associations between their alleles and Mia-associated hybrid glycophorins [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSerological typing of MNS polymorphic antigens – M, N, S and s – remains a fundamental technique in transfusion medicine and prenatal care, providing essential information for matching blood donors and recipients and managing haemolytic disease. Although

Erythrocyte glycophorins as receptors for Plasmodium merozoites [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 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 ...

Complement receptor 1 is a sialic acid-independent erythrocyte receptor of Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Plasmodium falciparum is a highly lethal malaria parasite of humans. A major portion of its life cycle is dedicated to invading and multiplying inside erythrocytes. The molecular mechanisms of erythrocyte invasion are incompletely understood.

Blood donor variability is a modulatory factor for P. falciparum invasion phenotyping assays
Scientific Reports, 2021 Human erythrocytes are indispensable for Plasmodium falciparum development. Unlike other eukaryotic cells, there is no existing erythroid cell line capable of supporting long-term P. falciparum in vitro experiments.

A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins
Membranes, 2017 Human red blood cells (RBC), which are the cells most commonly used in the study of biological membranes, have some glycoproteins in their cell membrane. These membrane proteins are band 3 and glycophorins A–D, and some substoichiometric glycoproteins (e.

Aspectos estruturais da membrana eritrocitária Structural aspects of the erythrocyte membrane
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2007 Este artigo descreve as estruturas e funções da membrana eritrocitária e sua importância na medicina transfusional. A membrana eritrocitária é uma das membranas mais conhecidas em termos de estrutura, função e genética. Como qualquer membrana plasmática,
