Abstract
Summary
Characteristics of uptake of ala-nine, arginine and glutamic acid have been studied in the rabbit erythrocyte and reticulo-cyte. Evidence is presented that the reticu-locyte posseses a mechanism or mechanisms for transport of alanine and glutamic acid that are lacking in the erythrocyte. The sources of supporting energy are blocked by exposure to IAA. Arginine accumulates to a greater extent in the erythrocyte than the reticulocyte. A quantitative analysis of amino acid uptake is presented.
