Abstract excerpt
Deficient expression of glycoinositol phospholipid (GPI) anchored proteins in affected paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) cells has been traced to a defect in GPI anchor assembly. In a previous study (Schubert, J., Schmidt, R. E., and Medof, M. E. (1993) J. Biol. Chem., in press) we characterized the biosynthesis of putative Man-containing GPI anchor precursors in normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and...
