Proteomic analysis of red blood cells and the potential for the clinic: what have we learned so far?
4 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Red blood cells (RBC) are the most abundant host cells in the human body. Mature erythrocytes are devoid of nuclei and organelles and have always been regarded as circulating 'bags of hemoglobin'.
