Abstract:
Summary Resealed human erythrocyte ghosts are regarded as valuable tools for the study of membrane properties. In order to investigate to what extent preparation procedures affect the yield of ghosts, their general properties, and their permeability, ghosts prepared by lysis at low (hypotonic media) and high (isotonic media) ionic strength were compared with each other and with native erythrocytes. For isotonic lysis, cells were either subjected to dielectric breakdown or suspended in isotonic NH4Cl solutions. In spite of very different characteristics of the lysis and the resealing process in the three types of preparations, the resulting ghosts do not differ in a number of features except for somewhat varying yields and for properties resulting from the mode of lysis.Specific transport properties, as characterized by the mediated fluxes ofm-erythritol,l-arabinose,l-lactate, and sulfate, proved to be unaltered with a few unsystematic exceptions. The simple nonmediated fluxes of all these permeants, as measured in the presence of inhibitors, however, were enhanced between 1.5- and 4-fold, indicating a somewhat increased ground permeability (of the lipid domain) in all ghost membranes.
Keywords:Hemolysis  electric breakdown  erythrocyte ghosts  anion permeability  nonelectrolyte permeability  membrane transport
