Elastic thickness compressibilty of the red cell membrane.
We have used an ultrasensitive force probe and optical interferometry to examine the thickness compressibility of the red cell membrane in situ. Pushed into the centers of washed-white red cell ghosts lying on a coverglass, the height of the microsphere-probe tip relative to its closest approach on the adjacent glass surface revealed the apparent material thickness, which began at approximately...
متن کاملChanges in Thickness of the Red Blood Corpuscle Membrane
Measurements of the static capacity per cm.(2) of membrane for the red corpuscle as changed when the cells are made spherical by the addition of lecithin or rose bengal, show a slight increase of capacity, indicating a thinning of the membrane, although the change is not large enough to make it certain that it is real. Furthermore, the membrane capacity shows a slight decrease when spherical ce...
متن کاملRed cell membrane disorders.
Disorders of the erythrocyte membrane, including hereditary spherocytosis, hereditary elliptocytosis, hereditary pyropoikilocytosis, and hereditary stomatocytosis, comprise an important group of inherited hemolytic anemias. These syndromes are characterized by marked clinical and laboratory heterogeneity. Recent molecular studies have revealed that there is also significant genetic heterogeneit...
متن کاملDisorders of red cell membrane.
Studies during the last three decades have enabled the development of detailed molecular insights into the structural basis of altered function in various inherited red cell membrane disorders. This review highlights our current understanding of molecular and mechanistic insights into various inherited red cell membrane disorders involving either altered membrane structural organization (heredi...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of the Red Blood Cell Membrane
The phosphorylation of red blood cell membrane fragments (RBCMF) during Ca ++ transport was investigated. When red cell membrane fragments are incubated with [y-a2P]ATP under the experimental condition which minimizes the phosphorylation of Na+-K+-ATPase, RBCMF are labeled in the presence of Mg ++ without Ca ++. When Ca ++ is added, the labeling decreases due to dephosphorylation of RBCMF. The ...
