Abstract
1. 1. Treatment of human blood with lyophilized snake venom (1 μg./ ml.) containing lecithinase resulted in removal of 50–60% of the cholinesterase from the erythrocyte. 2. 2. The glycolytic activity of erythrocytes was unchanged by this treatment. 3. 3. The active transport of K into and Na out of erythrocytes was impaired in venom-treated cells. This impairment is not correlated with any defect in glycolytic activity but may be correlated with a decreased cholinesterase activity.
