senescent cell antigen

senescent cell antigen
An antigen (62 kD) that appears on the surface of senescent erythrocytes and is immunologically cross-reactive with isolated band III. Seems to be recognized by an autoantibody, and the immunoglobulin-coated erythrocyte is then removed from circulation by cells such as Kuppfer cells of the liver that have Fc receptors. Intracellular cleavage of intact band III by a calcium-activated protease, calpain, may reveal the antigen in situ.
