THE EFFECT OF AMYLOID FIBRILS ON THE CHANGES OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MEMBRANE LIPIDS OF LYMPHOCYTES IN VITRO
Abstract
In this work we study the effect of amyloid fibrils on lipid bilayer of human lymphocyte membranes using lipophilic fluorescent probes. The results suggest that amyloid fibrils of lysozyme could interact with lymphocytes in vitro and cause changes in the microviscosity of cells lipid bilayer.
