Ejaculated human spermatozoa were subjected to nitrogen cavitation (600 psi for ten min) to remove the plasma membrane (PM). Electron microscopic examination of the cavitated cells revealed that 33% of the PM was removed from the sperm which includes both the head and tail regions. The released memb

Canalicular bile is formed by the osmotic filtration of water in response to osmotic gradients generated by active transport at the apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains of hepatocytes. We recently demonstrated that mixed plasma membrane fractions isolated from rat hepatocyte couplets conta
The properties of neuronal plasma membranes are highly specialized, since they include the receptors by which many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and toxins initiate their actions, as well as the components necessary for receiving synaptic input from a variety of sources and for generating the
Cell surface components probably play an important role in early embryonic development. However, hardly any information is available on the structure or regulation of expression of the corresponding genes. As a first step in approaching this issue, we devised a procedure to obtain enriched plasma me
