A glycoprotein has been extracted in water-soluble form from human red cell membranes with lithium diiodosalicylate. After extraction of the membranes and phosphocellulose chromatography a homogeneous preparation is obtained which was 60 percent carbohydrate and 40 percent protein (by weight). The preparation contains AB and MN blood group antigens, receptors for influenza virus, and various phytohemagglutinins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
