Chromatographic Identification of Lysins in Normal Tissues and Tumours of Mice

Abstract

THE two hæmolytic materials found in the normal tissues of the mouse and man, and also in mouse and human tumours, have been partially identified as being higher fatty acids (or their soaps) and lysolecithin; the former give a characteristic ultra-violet fluorescence, and the latter are soluble in ethanol but not in cold ether1,2. This communication concerns their more complete identification by silica-gel thin-layer chromatography.
