Abstract

Microscopic vesicles enclosed by membranes formed entirely of oleic or linoleic acids (ufasomes) were studied by the freeze-etching and birefringence techniques. The results suggest the presence of one or more membranes around the particles, in which the fatty acid chains lie perpendicular to the surface. Comparison with results obtained with phospholipid liposomes shows that both types of particles are basically similar, although ufasomes have a less regular structure.
