Abstract excerpt
The study of erythrocyte membrane protein concentration by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is the first step in approaching the primary molecular defect in hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Normal or greater than normal protein 2.1 levels were found in ten unrelated HS patients showing the inactivation of one ankyrin allele. Erythrocyte membranes from the same patients, once splenectomized, showed a...
