1. The amount of sialoglycopeptide (SGP) mixture released from young (Y) erythrocytes by trypsin treatment was significantly larger than that from old (O) ones. 2. The two main membrane-surface sialoglycopeptides (Y-SGP and O-SGP) were isolated in yields of about 45% and 42% from the mixtures by a combination of Sephadex G-50 superfine gel filtration with DEAE-cellulose chromatography, respectively. Molecular weights of 12,000 and 12,100, respectively, were found for the Y-SGP and the O-SGP. 3. The Y-SGP showed a greater proportion of sialic acid than the O-SGP. The contents of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine of the Y-SGP were significantly lower than those of the O-SGP. 4. Both the SGPs exhibited the same reactivities against the MN reagents, but the reactivities against the lectins of Limulus polyphemus and Phaseolus vulgaris (E) were stronger in the Y-SGP than in the O-SGP. Neither the Y-SGP nor the O-SGP showed the reactivity to Arachis hypogaea (anti-T) lectin.

D004905	Erythrocyte Aging	The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days.	Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte
D004910	Erythrocyte Membrane	The semi-permeable outer structure of a red blood cell. It is known as a red cell 'ghost' after HEMOLYSIS.
