Molecular analysis of the lymphocyte membrane

Methods for the molecular analysis of lymphocyte membranes are reviewed briefly, and wherever possible presented in a manner relevant to comparative studies. The specific areas reviewed include the bulk isolation of lymphocyte membranes, the use of radioisotopes to covalently label lymphocyte membrane molecules, the use of lectins to characterize membrane glycoconjugates, and our current understanding of lymphocyte membrane immunoglobulins.
