Sequence of Events in Plasma Membrane Assembly during the Cell Cycle

Nature volume 246, pages 291–295 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

Major components of the plasma membrane double during interphase. Some minor components also double, but others show fluctuations. Decreased expression by immune cytolysis of H-2 antigenicity during interphase is explicable in terms of decreased membrane fragility. These results are compatible with a model in which plasma membrane assembly occurs throughout interphase and in which cytokinesis is essentially a physical process.
