Abstract
Fluorescent concanavalin A (con A)-labelling showed that an electric field of 4 V cm-1 grossly redistributed con A receptors alone the plasma membranes of living muscle cells within 4 h. This field produced a voltage drop of 12 mV across these 30 micronm-wide cells. The movement of receptors was independent of cell metabolism and seemed to be electrophoretic in nature.Keywords
