Interaction of Gold With Red Blood Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold compounds are among the few therapeutic agents that can cause remission of aggressive rheumatoid arthritis. Although the mechanism for their toxicity and efficacy is unknown, gold levels in blood have been emphasized recently. In this report, we describe a systematic method to study the gold interaction with red blood cells and its distribution in the cell. Flow injection analysis (FIA) and high performance liquid chromatography HPLC) with gold-specific inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection are used.

SERS reveals the specific interaction of silver and gold nanoparticles with hemoglobin and red blood cell components.
The interaction of nanoparticles with hemoglobin (Hb), a major constituent of red blood cells, is important in nanotoxicity research. We report SERS spectra of Hb using gold and silver nanoparticles at very small nanoparticle : Hb molecule ratios, that is, under conditions relevant for SERS-based nanotoxicity experiments with red blood cells at high sensitivity. We show that the structural info...
متن کاملEffect 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 کاملInvestigation of Changes in Nucleated Red Blood Cells in Neonatal Infection
Background: Early diagnosis is paramount to the treatment of neonatal infections. Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are immature erythrocytes that increase in number due to stress and hypoxia. This study was conducted to determine NRBC count in the peripheral blood and examine its significance as a marker of neonatal infection. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 154 infants (78 ...
متن کاملSurface Coating of Red Blood Cells with Monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) Activated with Two Different Reagents
Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) with molecular mass of 5 kDa activated with succinimidyl carbonate and cyanuric chloride, separately was covalently attached to human red blood cells (RBCs). Inhibition of agglutination by blood-type specific antisera (anti-D) was employed to evaluate the effect of the polymer coating. The remaining single cells after incubation with anti-D sera were cou...
متن کاملGold binding to red blood cells.
very much higher concentrations.1-4 We have also studied the distribution of gold in blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis during treatment with sodium aurothiomalate and confirmed these results on the intersubject differences in distribution of gold. We surveyed the patients to determine factors which might affect the distribution of gold. From this survey we have identified smoking as t...
