Cartron J P, Rahuel C
Abstract excerpt
Human RBCs glycophorins are integral membrane proteins rich in sialic acids that carry blood group antigenic determinants and serve as ligands for viruses, bacteria, and parasites. These molecules have long been used as a general model of membrane proteins and as markers to study normal and patho...
