A structural determination and quantitative analysis of individual phospholipid molecular species from human erythrocyte plasma membrane phospholipids, mainly PE and PC, were made by Han and Gross (1994). Injection was made directly from chloroform extracts of biological samples. More than 50 human erythrocyte plasma membrane phospholipid constituents were identified from the equivalent of less than 1 pi of whole blood (Fig. 9.12).

An assay using H-labelled 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-L-flrfl6mo-2-heptulosonic acid-fetuin as a substrate has shown that human-erythrocyte plasma membranes contain significant amounts of neuraminidase activity, which is active over a broad range of pH and which has a temperature optimum of 30—40 °C. ...
