EFFECT OF WHEAT GERM AGGLUTININ AND CONCANAVALIN A ON ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE SKELETON. THERMAL DIELECTROSCOPY STUDY

Deformability and stability of erythrocyte membrane (EM) largely depend on spectrin-based membrane skeleton (MS) and its attachment to the lipid bilayer. Concanavalin A binds to band 3 without effect on EM deformability, while wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binds to Glycophorin A decreasing the EM defo...
