A change in membrane microviscosity of mouse neuroblastoma cells in association with morphological differentiation.
Changes in membrane microviscosity as well as in membrane constituents of mouse neuroblastoma clone N-18 were studied in association with neurite formation. The membrane microviscosity studied by fluorescence technique increased with the formation of neurites. The concomitant increase increase in the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipids was also observed.
