Hemolysins or haemolysins are lipids and proteins that cause lysis of red blood cells by disrupting the cell membrane.

Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Your red blood cells are an essential part of your blood. They carry oxygen from your lungs to tissues throughout your body. Your body uses this oxygen to make the energy needed to perform essential functions.

2024年11月29日 · Hemolysins are proteins produced by bacteria that can lyse red blood cells, releasing hemoglobin and impacting human health and disease progression. Understanding hemolysins is important as they contribute to bacterial pathogenicity, affecting infection development and spread.

Hemolysins is a toxin made from protein and lipid that can lyse cell membrane of erythrocytes and other cells (Thompson and Manktelow, 1986). From: Microbiological Research, 2018

Hemolysis or haemolysis (/ hiːˈmɒlɪsɪs /), [1] also known by several other names, is the rupturing (lysis) of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the release of their contents (cytoplasm) into surrounding fluid (e.g. blood plasma). Hemolysis may occur in vivo or in vitro.

2023年2月15日 · Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells (RBCs). Typically, RBCs can live for up to 120 days before the body naturally destroys them. However, certain conditions and...

Hemolysins are bacterial toxins that assemble from a water-soluble, monomeric species to form membrane-bound oligomer on the surface of target cells. From: Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2002

2024年10月21日 · Hemolysis, the destruction of red blood cells, plays a significant role in clinical diagnostics and microbiology. Understanding hemolysis patterns aids in diagnosing infections, identifying bacterial species, and assessing patient health. These patterns impact treatment decisions and patient outcomes.

2021年3月1日 · A hemolysin refers to any agent or substance that promotes hemolysis. It may be an exotoxin protein produced by bacteria. It may also be an antibody in which the resulting immune action involves hemolysis. Other possible hemolysins are other immunologic factors, toxins, and enzymes.

Hemolytic anemias caused by premature destruction of red blood cells occur in many disorders including hemoglobinopathies, autoimmune conditions, during infection or following reaction to drugs or transfusions.
