A comparison of the lipid content of normal and carrier-erythrocytes from cattle revealed no differences in phosphatidyl ethanolamine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidyl serine, or cholesterol. The ratio of membrane phospholipid to cholesterol and membrane-bound erythrocyte acetyl cholinesterase activity was unchanged. A microcytic tendency was observed for carrier-cells, however, this physical property of the cell cannot be related to measurable differences in lipid content of the cells.
