Improved methods for lipid analysis that have been developed recently were employed to reevaluate the phospholipid composition, the fatty acid and fatty aldehyde composition of the total phospholipid, and the fatty acid composition of the individual phospholipids of normal human red cells. Thirty-three fatty acids and five fatty aldehydes were estimated and tentatively identified in the total phospholipid of normal human red cells. Additional minor components were evident. The major individual phospholipids were isolated by silicic acid thin-layer chromatography and quantified. The fatty acid compositions of phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, lecithin, and sphingomyelin were determined. Each of these phospholipids showed a distinctive and characteristic fatty acid pattern.
