Vesiculation of human erythrocytes incubated in protein-free media
Abstract:
Erythrocytes incubated in different protein-free media release vesicle other than glycopeptides. The presence of glucose blocks the release of glycopeptides almost completely but not the vesiculation phenomenon. In vitro ageing of erythrocytes provokes a marked discocyte-spheroechinocyte transformation and a redistribution of membrane components.
