Abstract
1. Fatty acid and lipid compositions of cultured rat keratinocytes wer e compared with those of intact epidermis prepared from newborn and ad ult rats. 2. The uniqueness of the lipid profile of cultured cell mani fested itself in the accumulation of a novel lipid which co-migrated w ith monoalkyldiacylglyceride on thin-layer chromatography. 3. Concentr ation of the branched-chain fatty acid was specifically high in the ch olesterol ester fraction of the intact cell, and was decreased by cult ivation under submerged conditions.
