Abstract
Fluorescence photobleaching recovery curves on a pair of membranes at various separations were calculated from a detailed knowledge of the variation in relative illumination areas and intensities as well as in relative contributions to the collected intensity with membrane separation. The observed diffusion coefficients were found to be relatively insensitive to membrane separation in all cases. Only for membranes with very different mobilities are there significant differences in fractional recoveries. Systematic variations in fractional recoveries with cell thickness may be indicative of differential mobility in the apical and basal membranes.

## Abstract The use of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) techniques to monitor the lateral mobility of plant lectinβreceptor complexes on the surface of single, living mammalian cells is described in detail. FRAP measurements indicate that over 75% of the wheat germ agglutinin recep
Changes in membrane fluidity during myogenesis have been studied by fluorescence microscopy of individual cells growing in monolayer cultures of embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells. Membrane fluidity was determined by the techniques of fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR), with the use of a
The transverse location normal to the bilayer surface of a series of n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acid probes, where n = 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 16, was determined by fluorescence quenching measurements with a flow cytometer. We show that the anthroyloxy moieties of the probes locate at a graded series of
Receptor binding studies with the conventional method require the use of radioactively labelled ligands and include several washing steps. In certain cases, the halflife of the receptor-ligand complex is often shorter or similar to the time required for separation. Interactions between certain ligan
A fluorometric method for continuous monitoring of anion transport across red blood cell membranes was developed. The method was based on the use of a fluorescent substrate, N-(2-aminoethylsulfonate)-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-3-diazole) (NBD-taurine), whose intracellular fluorescence was quenched by hemoglo
