Characterization and comparison of the red blood cell membrane damage in severe human alpha- and beta-thalassemia
1992-02-15
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present work was to understand the pathophysiology of the severe human thalassemias as represented by beta-thalassemia intermedia and hemoglobin (Hb) H (alpha-thalassemia) disease. We have previously shown that the material properties of the red blood cell (RBC) and its membrane differ in severe alpha- and beta-thalassemia, and we now show that this difference is probably caused by accumulation of a...
