Counter-current distribution in non charge-sensitive aqueous poly(ethylene glycol)-dextran two phase systems allows the fractionation of rat bone marrow cells into two broad cell subpopulations with different distribution coefficients in a relatively short time. Morphological identification and enzymatic studies suggest that erythroid cells are mainly present in the subpopulation with the higher distribution coefficient. The distribution coefficient and, therefore, surface hydrophobicity of these cells, apparently increase in parallel with an increase in their degree of differentiation and maturation.

Human and rat erythrocytes were fractionated by counter-current distribution in charge-sensitive dextran/poly(ethylene glycol) two-phase systems. The specific activities of the key glycolytic enzymes (hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase) declined along the distribution profiles, although the relative positions of the activity profiles were reversed in the two species. These enzymes maintained their normal response to specific regulatory effectors in all cell fractions. No variations were observed for phosphoglycerate kinase and bisphosphoglycerate mutase activities. Some correlations between enzyme activities (pyruvate kinase/hexokinase, pyruvate kinase/phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase/pyruvate kinase plus phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase/bisphosphoglycerate mutase and phosphoglycerate kinase/bisphosphoglycerate mutase ratios) were studied in whole erythrocyte populations as well as in cell fractions. These results strongly support the fractionation of human erythrocytes according to cell age, as occurs with rat erythrocytes.
