Flagellar membranes are rich in raft-forming phospholipids
The observation that the membranes of Body flagella are enriched in sterols and sphingolipids has led to the hypothesis that flagella might be enriched in raft-forming lipids.However, a detailed lipidomic analysis of flagellar membranes is not available.Novel protocols to detach and isolate intact flagella from Trypanosoma brucei procyclic forms in
