SPECIES DIFFERENCES IN RATES OF OSMOTIC HEMOLYSIS WITHIN THE GENUS PEROMYSCUS

HARRY P. LEVINE 1

1 Department of Zoology, University of Vermont, Burlington

The erythrocytes of four species of mice within the genus Peromyscus were studied with regard to their rates of osmotic hemolysis in ethylene glycol, glycerol, erythritol and thiourea. Consistent species differences in hemolysis times were demonstrated by which it was possible in the case of the individuals studied to identify each species with certainty. Evidence of zoological relationship was apparent in the results.

Refrigeration storage of Peromyscus erythrocytes resulted in progressively decreased rates of hemolysis. Storage of Cavia (guinea pig) erythrocytes had very little effect upon their rates of hemolysis.
