Plasma membranes were isolated from rat liver and a transplanted rat hepatoma of the hepatocellular type. After glutaraldehyde fixation the membranes were treated with colloidal iron hydroxide (CIH) at pH 1-7, which was found to react specifically with the neuraminidasesensitive sialic acid of the liver membranes. The CIH-reactive, neuraminidase-sensitive sialic acid, comprising 70 % of the membrane-bound sialic acid, was exclusively located in the outer leaflet of the liver membranes as shown… CONTINUE READING
