Abstract
THE distribution of lead in blood fractions has been investigated by several workers. Recent studies made by using lead salts labelled with thorium B1,2, and with radium D3, showed that the lead is mainly held by the erythrocytes. The present communication deals with the isolation of the component mainly responsible for the uptake of thorium B by the erythrocytes.
