Abstract
We have studied the interaction of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) amyloid fibrils with human erythrocytes and lipid vesicles. The fibrils caused extensive aggregation of human erythrocytes and lipid vesicles without any significant lysis. The membrane activity of HEWL fibrils suggests that the interaction of lysozyme fibrils with cellular membranes could be a contributing factor under disease conditions.Entities:
