title: [Interaction of quartz with human erythrocyte membrane--major protein changes and the effect of aluminium citrate].
abstract: The changes of the major proteins of human erythrocyte membrane by quartz were analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The relative mobility of proteins remained unchanged, whilst the relative abundance of Band 3 and PAS-1 proteins decreased (stained with Coomassie blue and PAS). The adsorption of Band 3 on to quartz were dose- and time-dependent. Aluminium citrate can inhibit the quartz adsorptive activity. The results support that the membrane damage of quartz is related to interacting with Band 3 proteins.
