title: A method for the determination of the filtration coefficient for spherical bilayers prepared from bulk erythrocyte membrane lipids.
abstract: Water transport through spherical lipid bilayers consisting of bovine red cell lipids has been studied. A new experimental method for the determination of volume flow induced by concentration gradient is described. Changes of the filtration coefficient indicate phase transition in membrane lipid taking place at 33-36 degrees C.
