ABSTRACT

The total circulating red blood cells, or the so-called cell mass, in human has been determined by a variety of methods using different red cell tags. Prominent among these are the hemoglobin precursors, the use of which has been based on the assumption that since they are integral parts of the red blood cells, they should be the tags of choice in the study of human erythrocytes.
