MAMMALIAN RED CELLS AS A SOURCE OF "SMALL PARTICLES"
1Department of Animal and Plant Pathology of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, Princeton, New Jersey.
Abstract:
1. Small particles essentially similar to those previously isolated from other tissues have been isolated from mammalian red blood cells (horse blood). 2. About one-third of the dry weight of the particles is lipids. 3. The particles produce hemolysins against the homologous erythrocytes when inoculated into a foreign species. 4. The fact that the particles can be isolated from mammalian red cells which do not contain visible granules is taken to indicate that some at least of the particles isolated from whole organs represent disintegrated "stroma."

01:29Structure and Function of Erythrocytes
The erythrocyte plasma membrane is associated with proteins such as spectrin, which forms a flexible cytoplasmic meshwork. This meshwork allows erythrocytes to twist, turn, become cup-shaped, and regain their biconcave shape as they pass through narrow capillaries. Additionally, erythrocytes can form...
