18. We required tritium-labeled sphingosine foi measuring the uptake and subsequent metabolism of free sphingosine by cultured cells and for determining whether sphingosine can be converted to N,N-dimethyl derivatives. In experiments to measure the levels of free sphingosine in biological tissues, tritium-labeled sphingosine may also be useful as an added internal standard to monitor losses during processing.
