Abstract
Lipid rafts are usually isolated from cells or tissues using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation in the presence of detergents such as Triton X-100 at 4 °C. Although detergents should be removed for further structural characterization following fractionation, these compounds are often difficult to completely remove, especially from the glycolipids. In this chapter, we describe a novel method for the fast and convenient removal of detergents from lipid raft glycolipids following fraction and describe the application of this method.
