The liposomes were prepared as described (25 (link)). Briefly, 4 mol% Siglec-7 targeted liposomes were composed of distearoyl phosphatidylcholine (DSPC, Avanti Polar Lipids): cholesterol (Chol, Sigma-Aldrich): polyethyleneglycol-distearoyl phosphoethanolamine (PEG-DSPE, NOF): Siglec-7 ligand-lipid (35 (link)) in a 58: 37: 1: 4 molar ratio. Naked liposomes were composed of 5mol% PEG-DSPE instead of the Siglec-7 ligand-lipid. Antigenic liposomes substituted 1 mol% DSPC for 1 mol% C80 GMM. Fluorescent liposomes contained 0.2 mol% of Alexa fluor 647-PEG-DSPE (28 (link)). For liposome preparation, lipid components in dimethyl sulfoxide (Siglec-7 ligand-lipid, C80 GMM, and Alexa 647-PEG-DSPE) were mixed and lyophilized in a glass tube. The other components in chloroform were then added to the tube and dried completely by air flow. The dried lipids were hydrated with 1 mL of PBS, sonicated, then extruded by an liposome extruder (Avanti Polar Lipids) until the size became around 100 nm measured by Zetasizer (Malvern). The GMM concentration in the antigenic liposomes was 10 μM.

Gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (Gd; Sigma-Aldrich) was incorporated into 100-nm liposomes. A lipid mixture of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine (HSPC; Avanti) cholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl (Rhod-DSPE; Avanti) and PEG-DSPE (Avanti) at a molar ratio of 55.94:39:0.06:5 respectively were dissolved in absolute ethanol at 70°C. The dissolved lipids were quickly injected into a PBS solution containing 270 mg/ml of Gd, at 70°C, to reach a lipid concentration of 50mM. The liposomes were extruded five times through 100-nm polycarbonate membranes (Whatman) at 70°C. The free Gd was removed by dialysis in a 12-14kDa membrane (Spectrum Laboratories) against PBS solution at 4°C for 24 hours. Liposomes were sized using a Zetasizer NanoZSP (Malvern).

DPPC, MPPC, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl) amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (NBD-PC), cholesterol (chol), and 3β-[N-(N′,N′-dimethylaminoethane)-carbamoyl]cholesterol (DC-chol) were obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL). DSPE-PEG (average PEG molecular mass of 2,000 amu), fluorescamine (4-phenylspiro-[furan-2(3H),1-phthalan]-3,3′-dione), HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) sodium salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), citrate-phosphate-dextrose solution (CPD), Triton X-100 (TX100), sulforhodamine B sodium salt (SRB, ~75% purity), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were acquired from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). TA (4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid) and 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF) were purchased from Fluka (Buchs, Switzerland). Perchloric acid, ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate, acetic acid, and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (TRIS) were purchased from Merck KgaA (Darmstadt, Germany). Ascorbic acid was obtained from Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). TCA was dissolved in MilliQ at a 50% (w/v) concentration and stored at 4 °C. SRB was dissolved in 1% acetic acid at a concentration of 0.4% (w/v). TRIS was dissolved in MilliQ at a 10-mM concentration without further pH adjustments. All chemicals used were analytical grade.

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.
