erythrocytes

Examples of erythrocytes in the following topics:

• Babesiosis

  • The life cycle of Babesia parasites is characterized by their ability to undergo reproduction in the erythrocytes.
  • The sporozoites enter the erythrocytes and undergo asexual reproduction as previously mentioned.

• Agglutination Reactions

  • Hemagglutination uses erythrocytes as the biological carriers of bacterial antigens, and purified polysaccharides or proteins for determining the presence of corresponding antibodies in a specimen .

• Tests That Differentiate Between T Cells and B cells

  • Traditionally, T-lymphocytes were defined by their ability to form E-rosettes when they bind selectively to sheep erythrocytes.

• The Pentose Phosphate Shunt

  • For example, erythrocytes generate a large amount of NADPH through the pentose phosphate pathway to use in the reduction of glutathione.

• Rheumatic Fever

• Attachment and Entry to the Host Cell

  • HA proteins bind to cells with sialic acid on the membranes, such as cells in the upper respiratory tract or erythrocytes.
