Effect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....
متن کاملAbnormal membrane protein of red blood cells in hereditary spherocytosis.
We present evidence that the hereditable hemolytic disease, hereditary spherocytosis (HS), involves an abnormality in protein of the red cell membrane. Unlike that from normal red cells, lipid-free proteins extracted from HS red cell membranes fail to increase in sedimentation rate when treated with cations; such treatment of normal membrane proteins has been shown by others to cause the format...
متن کاملAlterations of membrane protein expression in red blood cells of Alzheimer's disease patients
Preventive measures, prognosis, or selected therapy in multifactorial maladies, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), require the application of a wide range of diagnostic assays. There is a large unmet need for relatively simple, blood-based biomarkers in this regard. We have recently developed a rapid and reliable flow cytometry and antibody-based method for the quantitative measurement of vari...
متن کاملDirect Cytoskeleton Forces Cause Membrane Softening in Red Blood Cells.
Erythrocytes are flexible cells specialized in the systemic transport of oxygen in vertebrates. This physiological function is connected to their outstanding ability to deform in passing through narrow capillaries. In recent years, there has been an influx of experimental evidence of enhanced cell-shape fluctuations related to metabolically driven activity of the erythroid membrane skeleton. Ho...
متن کاملEnzymes and membrane proteins of ADSOL-preserved red blood cells.
CONTEXT The preservative solution ADSOL (adenine, dextrose, sorbitol, sodium chloride and mannitol) maintains red cell viability for blood trans-fusion for 6 weeks. It would be useful to know about its preservation qualities over longer periods. OBJECTIVE To determine some red cell biochemical parameters for peri-ods of up to 14 weeks in order to determine whether the red cell metabo-lism int...
