In paper electrophoretograms, sheep red blood cells were classified into 2 types according to the pattern of free amino acid in red cells. The 1st type, called Lys- type, possessed 3 zones of amino acid, and the 2nd type, called Lys+ type, possessed 4 zones of amino acid. Lys+ type red cells contained higher concentrations of free amino acid than Lys- type red cells, and the concentration of amino acid of Lys+ and Lys- type was 23.23 .+-. 3.59 mM/l and 3.32 .+-. 0.97 mM/l, respectively. According to the ratio of K and Na concentration, the red cells of sheep were classified into 2 types; HK and LK types. The ratio of Na/K in HK type was less than 2, and that in LK type more than 2. The relation between K types and amino acid types of the red cells of sheep was examined. K, Na and K + Na concentration in the red cells of Lys + type were always lower than Lys- type in both the HK and LK type of red cells.  aBlood cells  aErythrocytes  aFree amino acids  aSheep  aCélula Sangüínea  aGlóbulo vermelho  aOvino  aPotássio  aAminoácido livre1 aSAEGUSA, H.1 aNAKAJIMA, K.1 aIWASAKI, S.1 aKIKKAWA, S.  tThe Japanese Journal of Veterinary Sciencegv. 52, n. 6, p. 431-437, Jun. 1981.
