Method "...the mass per cell was determined by counting the number of cells with the coulter counter."
Comments "According to the wide range of the cell size 75,000-240,000 lipoprotein molecules were found to be present in the rigid layer." For value of 240,000per cell see PMID 354502 p.493 3rd paragraph
