Effect of particle lipid content on the structure of insect lipophorins.
Four distinct subspecies of the major insect lipoprotein, lipophorin, that range in overall lipid content from 20 to 51% of the particle mass, were isolated from the hemolymph or oocytes of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Examination of these subspecies by electron microscopy revealed distincti...
