    Tritium planigraphy reveals that the erythrocyte membrane shields internal hemoglobin from tritium atoms. This cell surface labeling technique is valuable for studying cell topography.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Investigating intact cells requires methods that preserve cellular integrity.
    • Understanding the permeability of cell membranes is crucial in cell biology.
    • Tritium labeling offers a sensitive method for tracing molecular interactions.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the incorporation of tritium atoms into intact erythrocytes using tritium planigraphy.
    • To compare the accessibility of hemoglobin within erythrocytes versus free hemoglobin to tritium.
    • To assess the protective role of the erythrocyte plasma membrane against tritium penetration.

    Summary:

    • Tritium planigraphy was employed to study intact erythrocytes, detailing conditions for tritium atom incorporation.
    • Hemoglobin within erythrocytes showed over 100 times lower tritium incorporation compared to free hemoglobin, indicating limited accessibility.
