## Abstract The osmotic properties of human lymphocytes isolated from 15 ml of venous blood were examined. Measurements of the permeability of the membrane to water under an osmotic gradient were also made. The BoyleβVan't Hoff relation held very well for the human lymphocyte when the cells were sh

β¦ Synopsis
An examination of the literature on cell permeability to water reveals the fact that very few types of cells possess characteristics which make them available for accurate quantitative determinations of permeability. The egg cells of a number of species of Echinoderms (k200 = 0.110 p3 H,O) (Luck6 and McCutcheon, '32 ; Leitch, '31) ; the mammalian erythrocyte (kZo0 = 3.0 p3 H,O) (Jacobs, '32) ; normal and malignant fibroblasts (k = 0.6 p3 H,O) (Brues and Masters, '36) ; and isolated protoplasts of the pulp cells of onion scales
