Preparation of Blank Liposomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blank liposomes were firstly prepared according to the following procedures. Egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) (Germany Lipoid company, Shanghai local agent, China), cholesterol and polyethylene glycol distearoylphosphosphatidylethanolamine (PEG2000-DSPE, NOF Corporation, Japan) (52:43:5, mmol/mmol) was dissolved by methanol in a pear-shaped flask. The methanol was evaporated to dryness under vacuum with a rotary evaporator (EYELA-1000S, EYELA Rikakikai Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), then hydrated with 250 mM ammonium sulfate by sonication in a water bath for 5 min. Suspensions were treated with an ultrasonic cell disruptor (JY92 cell sonicator, Ningbo Chibio-Technology Co., Ltd., Ningbo, China) for 3 min (200 W), and successively extruded through polycarbonate membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) with pore size of 400 nm and 200 nm for 3 times, respectively. After extrusion, the suspensions were further dialyzed (12,000–14,000 molecular mass cutoff) against the phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM Na2HPO4 and 2 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.4) for 3 times (each time 8 h) to obtain the blank liposomes.

Egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC, Germany Lipoid company, ShangHai local agent, China), cholesterol (CHOL, Beijing Shuangxuan Microbe Culture Medium Products Factory, Beijing, China), polyethylene glycol 2000 distearoylphosphosphatidylethanolamine (PEG2000-DSPE, NOF Corporation, Japan), NH2-PEG2000-DSPE (NH2-PEG2000-DSPE, Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, USA) were mixed (68.5:33.6:3.6:1, molar ratio) and gradually filmed under vacuum with a rotary evaporator (EYELA-1000S, EYELA Rikakikai Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). After being hydrated by 250mM ammonium under ultrasonication, the solution was treated with ultrasonic cell disintegrator for 5 min in order to diminish the particle size of the liposomes. The suspensions were separately extruded by polycarbonate membrance (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) with a pore size of 400 nm and 200 nm for every three times to obtain the blank liposomes.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
