Abstract
Summary: (1) The composition of red‐cell‐lipids and ‐proteins has been reviewed with special regard to recent data on the chemistry and physico‐chemistry of membrane proteins. (2) A new concept for the architecture of the cell‐membrane is proposed, which takes into account several possibilities for conformational arrangements of membrane proteins. (3) Red‐cell‐membrane lipids and ‐proteins have been discussed with regard to their possible functions as carriers of blood group activity. AB‐specificity could be demonstrated not only in glycolipids but in the erythrocyte membrane proteins as well.Keywords
