Spectrin and Other Membrane-Skeletal Components in Human Red Blood Cells of Different Age

Spectrin and Other Membrane-Skeletal Components in Human Red Blood Cells of Different Age

Background: Old human red blood cells (RBCs) have a reduced surface area with respect to young RBCs. If this decrease occurred through the release of vesicles similar to the spectrin-free vesicles that are shed in vitro under different experimental conditions or during storage, there would be no dec...
