HS (heparan sulphate) has hitherto not been found on human red blood cells (RBCs, erythrocytes). However, malarial-parasite (Plasmodium falciparum)-infected RBCs adhere to uninfected RBCs via HS-like receptors. In the present paper we demonstrate that human RBCs carry epitopes for an anti-HS antibody. Glycans isolated from RBC membranes reacted to HS-specific degradations and adhered to an HS-binding malaria antigen. Additionally, an HS core protein was identified. This suggests that HS is present on human RBCs.
