Changes of lymphocyte membrane fluidity in rheumatoid arthritis: a fluorescence polarisation study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluorescence polarisation of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was used to study the lymphocyte membrane in rheumatoid arthritis. The increase of polarisation value in the patients (n = 27) compared with healthy controls (n = 32) suggests a decrease of membrane fluidity. Moreover, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and plasma fibrinogen concentrations were positively correlated with lymphocyte fluorescence polarisation values (r = 0.66 and r = 0.76 respectively). The results suggest that the changes in lymphocyte membrane fluidity could be involved in the pathogenetic mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis.

Assessment of Membrane Fluidity in Individual Yeast Cells by Laurdan Generalised Polarisation and Multi-Photon Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy
Here we describe techniques that we developed for monitoring membrane fluidity of individual yeast cells during environmental adaptation and physiological changes. Multiphoton scanning fluorescence microscopy using laurdan as a membrane probe enables determination whether fluidity changes seen by spectroscopy reflect universal responses or changes only of sub-populations. Yeast membranes are a ...
