Lipid segregation from the maturing erythroid cell membrane

Exp Pathol (Jena). 1980;18(3):193-5. doi: 10.1016/s0014-4908(80)80020-2.

Abstract

Vesicles attached to the cell membrane of enucleating normoblasts and reticulocytes are considered indicative of the segregation of plasmalemmal components. The vesicles are obviously free from haemoglobin. They bind cationized ferritin and autologous immunoglobulin G. This segregation of plasmalemmal constituents is suggested to be one line of erythroid cell maturation.
