A Possible Alteration in the Permeability of Ascites Cell Membranes after Exposure to Acoustic Microstreaming

A. R. WILLIAMS 1

1 Department of Anatomy, Manchester University, Manchester M13 9PL, England

Single-cell suspensions of mouse Ehrlich ascites cells in isotonic saline were subjected to a small-scale acoustic microstreaming field generated around a transversely oscillating wire. Cells sheared at wire displacement amplitudes below the threshold for membrane rupture contained more fluid than their controls. Evidence is presented which suggests that a slight change has occurred in the permeability of the plasma membranes of the intact sheared cells.
