Abstract
FRACTIONATION of erythrocytes of different ages by differential haemolysis is a useful approach to the study of enzymatic aspects of the maturation of the erythrocyte in the peripheral blood. Young red cells are thought to be resistant to osmotic haemolysis and older cells to be very fragile1. Recently Simon and Topper2 have shown by serial osmotic haemolysis that young erythrocytes have both fragile and resistant components. In the present paper the activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase have been related to red blood cells of various ages.
