Transformation of human erythrocyte shape by endotoxic lipopolysaccharide
Infection and Immunity
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Human erythrocytes were observed to undergo a discocyte to echinocyte to spheroechinocyte shape transformation during brief incubation with endotoxic lipopolysaccharide. It was concluded that lipopolysaccharide-membrane interactions alter the curvature of erythrocyte membranes.
