title: The distribution of inside-out and right-side-out erythrocyte membrane vesicles in Duchenne progressive muscular dystrophy.
abstract: In ten cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the distribution of erythrocyte ghost vesicles in dextran 110 gradient was examined. When compared with controls a greater number of inside-out vesicles was observed. It is suggested that the tendency to form abnormally oriented vesicles could result from structural abnormalities of the erythrocyte membranes.
