Abstract
The use of 51Cr as a label for sheep red cells was tested in thirteen sheep in which small volumes of labelled cells were injected. A considerable loss of radioactivity from the circulating blood was noted especially during the first few days, which seemed to be due to the elution of chromium from the cells. This was supported by certain in vitro experiments. The method, however, offered a practical possibility for determining the incompatibility of homologous red cells.
