A generic term for parts of cells prepared by disruptive biochemical techniques. Any of the small, heterogeneous, artifactual, vesicular particles that are formed when some cells are homogenized. Integral to that fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that includes the plasma and other membranes; require detergents, such as Triton X-100, to be released from membranes. That fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that includes the plasma and other membranes. The fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that is enriched for plasma membranes. That fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that is not soluble in water. Any of the discrete particles (nerve-ending particles) formed from the clublike presynaptic nerve endings that resist disruption and are snapped or torn off their attachments when brain tissue is homogenized in media isosmotic to plasma. Peripheral to that fraction of cells, prepared by disruptive biochemical methods, that includes the plasma and other membranes; can be extracted from membrane fraction with high concentrations of salt or high pH.
