Abstract
Summary
Survival of rat erythrocytes has been studied by simultaneous use of 2 methods, Cr51-labeling and differential agglutination. Results suggest that random destruction of rat erythrocytes did not occur and that the extinction of radioactivity of Cr51-labeled cells is a valid criterion for determination of erythrocyte life span. Both methods suggested a life span of about 65 days.
