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.

Rat bone marrow cell populations, containing different proportions of erythroid cells, have been fractionated by counter-current distribution in the non-charge-sensitive dextran/polyethyleneglycol two-phase systems on the basis of hydrophobic cell surface properties. Cell fractions with a low distribution coefficient, which contain non-erythroid cells and early erythoblasts, showed a low transferrin binding capacity and a low haemoglobin/cell ratio whereas cell fractions with a high distribution coefficient, which contain intermediate-late erythroblasts and mature red cells, showed an elevated transferrin binding capacity and the highest haemoglobin/cell ratio. These results support transferrin binding capacity as a good marker parameter for the erythroid bone marrow cell differentiation and maturation processes.
