Partitioning differences between cells in two-polymer aqueous phase systems originate from subtle differences between the surface properties of cells. Because of the exponential relation between the parameters affecting the partition ratio (P) and thePitself, differences in membrane components suspected of affecting the differential partitioning of closely related cell populations cannot be directly established by conventional chemical assay techniques. In order to study the chemical nature of the components responsible for the age-related changes in surface properties of rat red cells we have devised an approach which uses a combination of isotopic labeling of erythrocyte subpopulations of distinct cell age with different enzyme and/or chemical treatments followed by countercurrent distribution in charge-sensitive two-polymer aqueous phase systems. These studies show that: (a) neuraminidase-susceptible sialic acid is not responsible for the cell age-related surface differences detected by partitioning; (b) the component(s) responsible for the cell age-related surface differences can be extracted (from aldehyde-fixed red cells) with ethanol or cleaved with dilute sulfuric acid. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that ganglioside-linked sialic acid is the chemical moiety responsible for the cell charge-associated surface differences among rat blood cells of different ages.
