A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins
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.g., CD44, CD47, Lu, Kell, Duffy). The oligosaccharide that band 3 contains has one N-linked oligosaccharide, and glycophorins possess mostly O...
متن کاملRed blood cell substitutes: current status.
The transfusion of allogeneic blood (or plasma or red cells) involves many hoards (see table 1), some of which may be reduced or avoided. For example, the patient's own blood rather than allogeneic blood may be transfused: by 1990 more than 5% of units collected in the USA were of autologous blood [42]. In the United Kingdom, the National Transfusion Service is now, in some regions at least, pr...
متن کاملReduced expression of CD47 during murine red blood cell (RBC) senescence and its role in RBC clearance from the circulation.
BACKGROUND Almost 2 percent of murine blood red blood cells (RBCs) are destroyed each day and are replaced by fresh RBCs generated through the process of erythropoiesis. RBCs to be destroyed are phagocytosed by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system, especially in the spleen. CD47 molecules on RBCs may regulate the susceptibility of RBC to destruction by phagocytosis because its recognit...
متن کاملEffect of Thyroid Dysfunctions on Blood Cell Count and Red Blood Cell Indice
Abstract Background Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction induces different effects on blood cells such as anemia, erythrocytosis leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and in rare cases causes’ pancytopenia. It also alter RBC indices include MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW. Thus this study attempted to evaluate effect of hypo & hyperthyroi...
