The protein-induced lipid transfer between phosphatidylcholine vesicles was investigated. Measurements of the degree of polarization at single vesicles were made by flow cytometry using diphenylhexatriene as the optical probe. Vesicles differing in phase transition temperature could be distinguished by their degree of polarization at a temperature where one population was in the fluid (T greater than Tt) and the other one in the quasi-crystalline (T less than Tt) state. Besides vesicles containing exchange lipids we also observed fractions of unaffected vesicles. The lipid exchange was visualized directly by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. The characteristic 'ripple' structure of phosphatidylcholine vesicles disappeared upon exchange with lipid in the fluid state.
