We investigated the use of annexin V (placental anticoagulant protein I), a calcium-dependent protein that binds tightly to phosphatidylserine-containing membranes, as a means to measure membrane phospholipid asymmetry in human erythrocytes. Iodine 125-labeled annexin V bound to erythrocytes in a specific, reversible, calcium-dependent reaction (dissociation constant = 25 +/- 4 nmol/L at 37 degrees C and 2.5 mmol/L calcium). Lysed erythrocytes contained 1.2 x 10(6) binding sites for annexin V… CONTINUE READING
