Uptake of metallic mercury (Hg degrees) and mercuric ion (Hg2+) by erythrocytes was studied by incubating erythrocytes with various concentrations of radioactive metallic mercury and mercuric ion in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 6.8) or plasma at 25 degrees C for 30 min. Radioactivity taken up in the cytosol (endsome) and stroma were determined with a gamma scintillation counter. The radioactivity ratio of the mercury recovered in the cytosol fraction to metallic mercury incubated in the saline was significantly higher than the ratio of that to mercuric ion. Similar findings were observed in erythrocytes incubated with metallic mercury and mercuric ion in plasma, although the recovered radioactivity of mercury in the cytosol of erythrocytes incubated with metallic mercury or mercuric ion in plasma was less than that incubated in phosphate-buffered saline. Thus, erythrocytes incubated with metallic mercury took up a larger amount of mercury than those incubated with mercuric ion. Discussion is made on these findings.
