How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]
An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

Hemolysis of Rat Erythrocytes by Replacement of the Natural Phosphatidylcholine by Various Phosphatidylcholines [PDF]
Vesicles of a variety of types of phosphatidylcholine have been shown to be suitable donors of phosphatidylcholine to intact rat erythrocytes in the presence of a specific phosphatidylcholine exchange protein. Coincident with the progression of phosphatidylcholine exchange is the onset of hemolysis, occurring at degrees of exchange characteristic for ...

Foam cell formation containing lipid droplets enriched with free cholesterol by hyperlipidemic serum
A monoclonal antibody, ASH1a/256C (256C), which binds to atherosclerotic lesions in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit (WHHL) aorta in vivo, recognizes complex structures of phosphatidylcholine mixed with neutral lipids.

Complementary transcriptomic, lipidomic, and targeted functional genetic analyses in cultured Drosophila cells highlight the role of glycerophospholipid metabolism in Flock House virus RNA replication [PDF]
Background Cellular membranes are crucial host components utilized by positive-strand RNA viruses for replication of their genomes. Published studies have suggested that the synthesis and distribution of membrane lipids are particularly important for the
