P blood group regulation of glycosphingolipid levels in human erythrocytes

K. S. Fletcher, E. G. Bremer and G. A. Schwarting

The neutral glycosphingolipid content of normal human erythrocytes was analyzed by a new method which utilizes high performance liquid chromatography. This rapid and accurate technique permits the quantitation of each of the major neutral glycolipids from individual blood samples. A correlation between the P blood group and the relative quantities of neutral glycosphingolipids is demonstrated. Erythrocytes from P1 individuals are shown to contain more globotriaosylceramide and less lactosylceramide than do erythrocytes from P2 individuals. The results of these experiments suggest the existence of a new phenotype in the P blood group system, and have further implications regarding the biosynthesis of the P blood group glycosphingolipids.
