Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol), glycerol and dimethyl sulphoxide markedly decrease the surface potentials of monolayers of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. This finding is discussed in relation to the properties of hen erythrocytes undergoing fusion induced by poly(ethylene glycol).This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
