Polar
Lipids (Alabaster, Alabama, USA). GUVs were prepared by electroformation.16 (link) One microliter of DOPC/X (X = C22:1, C22:1 Gb3_EG1, C22:1 Gb3_EG3, or C22:1 Gb3_EG7) at
95:5 ratio at 1 mg/mL in chloroform was spread on two indium tin oxide-coated
glass plate electrodes that were spaced 4 mm apart. The electrodes
with the lipid films were immersed in a chamber containing 320 mM
sucrose solution and were connected to a power generator. Electroformation
was performed at 2 V and 10 Hz for 1 h at 65 °C. The GUVs were
released from the electrodes by changing the frequency to 2 Hz for
30 min, and transferred into a chamber with equiosmolar PBS.
