Abstract
The preparations of pure crystalline lecithin and lysolecithin are described. Mixed sols of these phosphatides have been prepared and their viscosities, stabilities to salts, and haemolytic activities have been examined. The viscosity results indicate a marked interaction between the two compounds in the aqueous sols. The salt stability and haemolysis results are used to support a theory of cell membrane formation.
