ARCE HERNANDEZ, Ada Amalia; VILLAESCUSA BLANCO, Rinaldo  and  MERLIN LINARES, Julio César. Purification of band 3 protein from human erythrocytes (AE 1). Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2007, vol.23, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2996.

The band 3 protein is purified starting form the membranes of human erythrocytes with celerity and efficiency by a combination of DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange and affinity chromatography by using a pCMB-Sepharose column. The obtention of band 3 will allow to investigate its possible participation in the occlusive phenomena in drepanocytosis
