Glycophorin A-mediated haemolysis of normal human erythrocytes: evidence for antigen aggregation in the pathogenesis of immune haemolysis.

Michael C Brain, Jay M. Prevost, Carin Pihl, Christopher B. Brown
British journal of haematology
2002

The inexplicable severity of anti-Pr autoimmune haemolytic anaemia led us to test the hypothesis that the haemolysis was primarily due to a change in the function of glycophorin A, on which the Pr… (More)

Evidence for a mechanosensitive calcium influx into red cells.

Michael C Brain, Carin Pihl, Laurie Robertson, Christopher B. Brown
Blood cells, molecules & diseases
2004

Red cells exposed to glycophorin A reactive antibodies and lectins develop a non-specific cation permeability. To determine if this might be due to the activation of a non-selective mechanosensitive… (More)

Life-threatening hemolytic anemia due to an autoanti-Pr cold agglutinin: evidence that glycophorin A antibodies may induce lipid bilayer exposure and cation permeability independent of agglutination.

BACKGROUND The hemoglobin of a 29-year-old man fell below 35 g/L over 5 days, despite 14 units of red blood cells (RBCs), due to an anti-Pr cold agglutinin (CA). His hemolytic anemia necessitated… (More)
