Popis: Suspensions of amoebae were treated with [3H]glucosamine either before or after exposure to solutions of KCl or Alcian blue. Several hours later, the cell surface was isolated. Comparison of specific activities of control and experimental material showed that pinocytosis caused a specific increase in the amount of [3H]glucosamine incorporated into the cell surface fraction. Ion-exchange chromatography of acid hydrolysates of pooled radiolabeled surface fractions showed that all of the label eluted at positions corresponding to glucosamine and galactosamine.
