Total phospholipid assay?

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Dave, 

first extract all lipids by Bligh and Dyer Method, then perform
an essay for inorganic phosphate (molybdic acid procedure). If I 
remember correctly, there should be some papers from Schmitz-G and or 
Assmann and or Robenek from 1980 - 1990.  Maybe you are able to 
locate them in PubMed. Actually, thre should be plenty of references, 
in that time and before that was common procedure.
