A simple rapid method for the preparation of purified brush border membranes from rabbit
kidney proximal tubules is described. The method is based on hypotonic lysis, Ca 2+
aggregation of contaminants and differential centrifugation. In contrast to most other
published methods, the brush border membranes are free of contamination by basolateral
membranes.
