AChE activity measured in IOVs and ghosts made of erythrocytes. AChE activity of 100 μg IOV membrane protein (A) or 100 μg ghost protein (B) was measured in the presence of 0.016% Triton X-100 as described. Each measurement of the different preparations was carried out in duplicate, and the average of AChE activity was normalized to its own control value (100%). The values with error bars represent the means and standard deviation of the normalized results of five independent experiments. The AChE activity measured in the IOVs or ghosts prepared from the erythrocytes of the propositus was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the values measured in samples from the control or other members of the family.
