A high concentration of a basic unidentified amino compound was found in the blood of rats. It was isolated and identified as N epsilon,N epsilon,N epsilon-trimethyllysine by paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and amino acid analyzer. It was localized exclusively in red blood cells in the blood of rats. Free trimethyllysine was also determined in the liver, kidney, spleen, brain, muscle, heart and testis of rat. The concentration of free trimethyllysine in red blood cells was more than 10-times as high as that in the other tissues. This compound in red blood cells was found in different species of animals. The relationship between this free trimethyllysine and carnitine was discussed.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
